Overwhelming talent allows Collette to completely take over the reader's mind and repossess it with the mind of Renee, a Parisian dance hall girl. Her heart has been frozen to love's warmth by a disastrous marriage. Published in 1910, this feminist novel extols the single life for women, regardless of its cost in loneliness and heartbreak. Renee is an honest--always brutally so to herself--self-reliant woman of courage, exceptional for her Age.
