In 35 brief chapters, Colette reconstructs her childhood in the French countryside, with the family home, the garden, and the central figure of her mother, Sido. The stories evoke everyday scenes, the relationship with animals and nature, and the awareness of the passage of time, all with a nostalgic yet lucid gaze.

For readers of French literature and autobiographical narratives, especially those interested in Colette's work and rural life in the early twentieth century.
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, known mononymously as Colette or as Colette Willy, was a French author and woman of letters. She was also a mime, actress, and journalist. Colette is best known in the English-speaking world for her 1944 novella Gigi, which was the basis for the 1958 film and the 1973 stage production of the same name. Her short story collection The Tendrils of the Vine is also famous in France.
