      About This Book

      Colette began writing Break of Day in her early fifties, at Saint-Tropez on the Côte d''Azur, where she had bought a small house after the breakup of her second marriage. The novel''s theme-the renunciation of love and the return to an independent existence supported and enriched by the beauty and peace of nature-grows out of Colette''s own period of self-assessment in the middle of her life. A collection of subtle reflections about love and life, it is among her most thoughtful and stylistically bold works.
