By the time an agathos woman reaches twenty-five, she's supposed to be one thing, and one thing only: Bonded. I'm zero for four soul bonds, a disgrace to my family, and the black sheep of my community.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears.... Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters. Potayto, potahto. The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being—one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking-and-entering thing. What could go wrong?

Can one kiss change everything? I’m about to find out.

Claudine, 15 ans, vit à Montigny avec son père, homme distrait, plus préoccupé par les mollusques que par l'éducation de sa fille. Celle-ci fréquente la petite école du village, cadre principal des aventures décrites dans ce livre, présenté comme le journal intime de la jeune fille. Son quotidien est rythmé par les promenades avec sa sœur de lait Claire, qui lui raconte sa vie amoureuse, et les leçons de musique avec Antonin Rabastens qui lui fait la cour.

Messa al bando dalla buona società dopo il divorzio da un mondano e inveterato seduttore, l'ex scrittrice Renée Néré diviene attrice di music-hall e frequenta il mondo squallido e variopinto degli artisti che vivono fra il circo e il caffè-concerto. Corteggiata da un ricco, giovane e ozioso ammiratore che le propone, magnanimo, le nozze, lo rifiuta in nome di una dignità femminile duramente conquistata e di una libertà tanto preziosa quanto precaria.

«Dovreste buttare giù su carta qualche ricordo di scuola. Non abbiate paura dei dettagli piccanti, potrei forse trarne partito»: così, attorno al 1895, Henri Gauthier-Villars, noto come Willy, invitava la giovane moglie Gabrielle Colette a fornirgli il materiale per dei romanzetti erotici. Ne usciranno quattro, tra il 1900 e il 1903: Claudine a scuola, Claudine a Parigi, Claudine si sposa e Claudine se ne va. Clamorosi successi commerciali, questi romanzi-scandalo per eccellenza del Novecento vedono come protagonista la selvatica Claudine, fanciulla e poi giovane donna di spregiudicata sensualità.

Con la protervia della bellezza giovane, Chéri irrompe nella vita di Léa, donna leggera e sapiente, «cortigiana danarosa e buona figliola a cui la vita aveva risparmiato le catastrofi fascinose e i nobili dolori» – ma glieli aveva risparmiati per concentrarli tutti in una sola storia, che la colpisce quando ha l'età «in cui è lecito concedersi qualche piccolo piacere». Nel triangolo amoroso apparirà qui il rivale più temibile: il Tempo, nel suo ruolo di corruttore dei corpi.

Largely autobiographical, La Vagabonde recalls Colette's own years as a dance hall performer in turn of the century Paris, where she takes the listener backstage and into the demimonde of Renée Néré, an aging dancer, mime, and failed writer.

Flying the friendly skies has been more than just a job to me. It’s my home. Ten years ago I ran away from everything I’ve known and vowed never to return. That is, until my flight is cancelled due to weather, and I’m stuck in San Francisco. Fate is not on my side when I end up in an Uber ride share with the one man I thought I’d never see again. Zack Hunt was my high school sweetheart, and the boy I walked away from without a note saying goodbye. Except, he’s no longer a boy. No, this man is gorgeous, intense, and heated at the sight of me.

Roman autobiographique, La maison de Claudine rassemble des souvenirs où une demeure devient le cœur vibrant d’un monde intime. Colette y capte, en éclats brefs, la texture du quotidien: scènes domestiques, silhouettes familières, instants furtifs saisis avec une justesse lumineuse. On y entend la rumeur d’une époque et l’éveil d’un regard, tantôt tendre, tantôt ironique, toujours d’une précision sensible. Cette prose souple et ciselée fait affleurer la joie des petites choses, la gravité des heures, et la comédie des liens.
