Françoise Gilot was in her early 20s when she met the 61-year-old Pablo Picasso in 1943. Brought up in a well-to-do, upper-middle-class family, who had sent her to Cambridge and the Sorbonne and hoped that she would go into law, the young woman defied their wishes and set her sights on being an artist. Her introduction to Picasso led to a friendship, a love affair, and a relationship of 10 years, during which Gilot gave birth to Picasso's two children, Paloma and Claude. Gilot was one of Picasso's muses; she was also very much her own woman, determined to make herself into the remarkable painter she did indeed become.

Life with Picasso, written with Carlton Lake and published in 1961, is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man. We hear him talking about painting and sculpture, his life, his career, as well as other artists, both contemporaries and old masters. We glimpse Picasso in his many and volatile moods, dismissing his work, exultant over his work, entertaining his various superstitions, being an anxious father. But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist at the height of his fame; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career.

Not many lives are as complex and as fascinating as Picasso's and this narrated from the point of view of Francoise Gilot makes it even more exciting but I fear I will not be able to hear this until the end as the reader, Mary Sarah, is absolutely frightful. Her style is highly irritating, contrived, and exaggeratedly dramatic. Her gasping voice sinks to a whisper at the end of every sentence, making it almost impossible to understand and the intonation is so bad, or rather, incorrect that the sense often gets lost. What a waste of subject matter, I would so liked to have heard this story. I shall make sure to avoid Mary Sarah in future. If I can't find a different version with another reader I shall have to buy the print version and read it myself.

Fascinating subject completely ruined by reader
