Beyond it is the village, where travelling performers stop for the night and wedding feasts take place under a bright summer moon. Inside her house are Mama, who loves animals, Papa, who lost his leg in the war, and a library full of irresistible books. Based on Colette's own early life, Claudine's House is a vivid, enchanting depiction of childhood, memory and the passing of time in late-nineteenth-century France. `Her sensual prose style made her one of the great writers of twentieth-century France' New York Times Book ReviewTranslated with an Introduction by Belinda Jack","brand":"Colette","offers":[{"title":"176 pages \/ 27\/08\/2026 \/ Classic fiction (pre c 1945)","offer_id":57415325548919,"sku":"9780241574690","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780241574690.jpg?v=1787878974","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780241574690","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
