Claudine's House | Colette

3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read

In an idyllic setting of countryside and woods, Colette spent her childhood surrounded by a warm and loving family. Years later, her memories and experiences inspired her to create a series of snapshots of the innocence of provincial life. At once poignant and vividly alive, her recollections portray a magical world, filled with the beauty and the warmth of human relationships--"and, above all, the lasting impressions made by her wonderful mother. French novelist Colette (1873-"1954) is most famous for her portraits of childhood in the.

Claudine's House | Colette

I‘m done with the Fall part of the #Booked19 reading challenge and my favorite is the book in the tag. Plotless and slow story about growing, but rich in setting and prose.

Claudine's House | Colette

Pick

Nostalgic, tender and almost idyllic reminiscence on the childhood, heavily autobiographical and presented in short chapters - vignettes about nature, mother, father, old house ... Recommended, if you are craving for simple, but beautiful, heartwarming prose and story.

Claudine's House | Colette

Meh

so-so

Memories of Colette's youth in a house with a garden, filled with life and animals and her mother Sido. I liked the mother a lot. Therefore maybe, it's not so strange I felt the story collapsing after Sido dies. The beautiful sentences and Sharp observations remain, however. #1001books
