Description: It was Colette's desire to add to the limited treasury of truthful insights into love, into the mysteries of love in its many forms. She used her customery semifictional formula to report on the behavior, the mores, reflexes, instincts of women, especially as sentient, desiring creatures drawn to similarities and even to substitutes.
