Colette (1873 - 1954)

My mother's house : and Sido / Colette - New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux , 1975, c1953 - 219 p. ; 21 cm.

Vividly alive, fond of cities, music, theater, and books, Sido devoted herself to her village, Saint-Saveur; to her garden, with its inhabitants and its animals; and, especially, to her children, particularly her youngest, whom she called Minet-Chéri. My Mother's House and Sido center on the compelling figure of a powerful, nurturing woman in late-nineteenth-century rural France, conveying the impact she had on her community and on her daughter - who grew up to be a great writer.
