Retreat from Love is one of the best of Colette's celebrated 'Claudine' novels. It was the first to be written under her own name, without the influence of her husband from whom she had recently separated. A tale of the sexual and emotional machinations of three upper-class youths in a remote farmhouse. Retreat from love shows the work of a newly mature Colette In an isolated farmhouse in the Jura, Claudine awaits her husband Renaud's return from a Swiss sanatorium. She distracts herself by encouraging her young friend Annie to recount salacious episodes from her love life. When Renaud's homosexual son Marcel arrives Claudine sets about matchmaking, a fiasco she bitterly regrets. With Renaud's death, Claudine's ennui is transmuted into resigned suffering. But she gradually allows the rhythm and beauty of the natural world to reawaken her desire to live. A Peter Owen Modern Classic.
