My Mother's House and Sido
My Mother's House and Sido | Colette, Una Vicenzo Troubridge, Enid McLeod
In My Mother's House and Sido, Colette plays fictional variations on the themes of childhood, family, and, above all, her mother. Vividly alive, fond of cities, music, theater, and books, Sido devoted herself to her village, Saint-Saveur; to her garden, with its inhabitants and its animals; and, especially, to her children, particularly her youngest, whom she called Minet-Chri. Unlike Gigi and Chri, which focus largely on sexual love and its repercussions, My Mother's House and Sido center on the compelling figure of a powerful, nurturing woman in late-nineteenth-century rural France, conveying the impact she had on her community and on her daughter -- who grew up to be a great writer.

"It's #Recommendsday! One of the women writers I devoured in my twenties and have returned to again and again. I love these fictionalized memoirs of life in rural France at the turn of the last century, of strong women, of pets and gardens. On a yellowed paperback page, many years ago, I underlined: "To me the important thing is to lay bare and bring to light something that no human eye before mine has gazed upon." - @BethFishReads
