<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Colette began writing <i>Break of Day</i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Born in 1873 in France, <b>Colette</b> was the author of many acclaimed novels noted for their intimate style. She died in 1954.</p>
