Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Published in France in 1924 and translated into English by Cowley five years later, The Green Parrot was daring for its day for hinting at incest in its story of a young Russian aristocrat who searches for the roots of her exile and loneliness.

About the Author
Proust and Marthe Bibesco were natives of the same land and their touching fingertips at the ball was more deeply significant that the embraces of those who danced together till dawn
Customer Reviews
Wonderful afternoon
Even 80 years later, it's a wonderful story, romantic, serious, improbable, true to the heart. Well written (or translated). I ran across it accidently and had a wonderful afternoon immersed in it.
