My Mother’s House and Sido…book review
the old warm quilt…
Book review:
My Mother’s House and Sido
by Colette (Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette) (1873-1954)
French writer, nominated for Nobel Prize in 1948
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1953
219 pages
Colette’s life was an abundance of verve. She pushed through every door.
She infused her characters and her stories with verve. Colette’s characters are alive.
This is old-fashioned fiction, the kind that invites the reader to snuggle a bit deeper under the old warm quilt and keep reading…
It’s a pleasure to read My Mother’s House and Sido.
