Summary of Retreat From Love
With this final book of the Claudine series, long withheld from translation into Enghsh, Colette declared her independence from her collaborator and former husband, Willy. Filled with the ravishing writing and luminous insights that mark Colette's later work, Retreat From Love is a novel about sexuality and love in a variety of forms : the special feeling between two women, Claudine and her friend Annie; Annie's unbridled quest for young male bodies; the equally compulsive pursuits of Claudine's homosexual stepson, Marcel; and, most of all, Claudine's seasoned love for her husband, Renaud.Literature & Fiction Books
