Journal Entry 1 by eowyn-unquendor from Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland Netherlands on Sunday, January 15, 2006
From the back: "When Claudine, now a vivacious seventeen-year-old, leaves the country and moves into a Paris flat with her bombastic Papa, Mélie the maid, and Franchette her beloved white cat, she begins by pining for the woods and fields of her childhood. Eventually she sets out to explore and meets a host of new friends and admirers, in particular two distant cousins - Marcel, a pretty, pampered homosexual with whom she exchanges the most astonishing confidences, and his forty-year-old father, Renaud, a mature, elegant man of the world, with whom Claudine finds much in common. Other characters come under her wide-eyed scruntiny - aristocratic Aunt Coeur, Maugis the foul-mouthed music critic, little Luce her girlhood friend, now the mistress of a rich uncle - but it is Claudine, hesitantly moving towards maturity and an overwhelming love, who imperiously commands - and gets - our fascinated attention. This is the second of Colette's famous Claudine novels." Not as funny as "Claudine at School", but again an irresistable book. More scandalous than the first book I think. One of Mopperhond's 900 English pocket books. 1963 Penguin Book
