<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Thirty-three years-old and recently divorced, Renée Néré has begun a new life on her own, supporting herself as a music-hall artist. Maxime, a rich and idle bachelor, intrudes on her independent existence and offers his love and the comforts of marriage. A provincial tour puts distance between them and enables Renée, in a moving series of leters and meditations, to resolve alone the struggle between her need to be loved and her need to have a life and work of her own.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The paradoxes of great literature are those of human nature, and Colette is nothing if not human . . . Accessible and elusive; greedy and austere; courageous and timid; subversive and complacent; scorchingly honest and sublimely mendacious; an inspired consoler and an existential pessimist--these are the qualities of the artist and the woman. Its is time to rediscover them." --<i>From the Introduction</i> <p/>"<i>The Vagabond</i>, one of the first and best feminist novels ever written, is that rare thing: a great book which is also inspiring." --<i>Erica Jong</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born in 1873 in France, <b>Colette </b>was the author of many acclaimed novels noted for their intimate style.
