Description: |
Set in prewar Paris, this is the story of the complex relationship between proud but impoverished Julie and her former husband, the Comte d'Espivant, now married to a wealthy widow. It is said to be as close a reckoning with the elements of Colette's own second marriage as she ever allowed herself. |
Synopsis: |
Set in pre-war Paris, Julie de Carneilhan tells of the complex relationship between proud but impoverished Julie and her former husband, the Comte d'Espivant, who has remarried a wealth widow. Julie de Carneilhan was the last full-length novel Colette was to write as was 'as close a reckoning with the elements of her second marriage as she ever allowed herself.' In Chance Acquaintances Colette visits a health resort accompanied only by her cat. While there, she befriends the handsome Gerard Haume and his invalid wife Antoinette, and is unwittingly caught up in the mysterious and disturbing events which befall them. Varying widely in mood and treatment, these two short novels demonstrate the versatility and sensitivity of Colette's writing. |
