I finished this in the Jardin du Luxembourg on a rare 60° February day. This book made me feel like a child again and I because nostalgic for a childhood that wasn’t even mine. Beautiful, strange writing

This book is a reminder of the beauty of a life well-lived and nurtured by nature. This is a deceptively simple collection of Colette's musings about her mother and the rest of her family in their country estate.
