Product Description

Product Description

The author captures that precious, painful moment when childhood retreats at the onslaught of dawning knowledge and desire. Philippe and Venca are childhood friends. In the days and nights of late summer on the Brittany coast, their deep-rooted love for each other loses its childhood simplicity.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lyrical honest account of a young boy's awakening manhood, 1 May 2000
By A Customer
This is colette at her very best..tender , brutal and exotic. The stark Brittany landscape mirrors the painful journey into adulthood for Phil and Vinca , the two childhood sweethearts of the story , while the brooding presence of the sensuous Mme Dalleray casts a shadow over the once ' innocent ' family holiday.
