1928
Colette, translated by Enid McLeod
Excerpt from Break of Day
B-
At 55, Colette looks back at how her romances have caused her friends and pets to think less of her, but she hopes she's getting to the stage where she can enjoy men as just friends. (Spoiler, she'd marry her third husband in '35.) Some of this excerpt is too vague and meandering. I like the concrete details and the humor better. And as always, her mother, even in just a brief letter, is a scene-stealer.
