Le blé en herbe

Margaret Crosland

Short stories and a novella, first posthumously published in France as Mon Amie Valentine. Set in France of the 1920's.

Colette began writing "Break of Day" in her early fifties, at Saint-Tropez on the Cote d'Azur, where she had bought a small house after the breakup of her second marriage. The novel's theme -- the renunciation of love and the return to an independent existence supported and enriched by the beauty and peace of nature -- grows out of Colette's own period of self-assessment in the middle of her life. A collection of subtle reflections about love and life, it is among her most thoughtful and stylistically bold works.
