Colette began writing "Break of Day" in her early fifties, at Saint-Tropez on the Cote 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.Colette, Sidonie-Gabrielle is the author of 'Break of Day', published 1983 under ISBN 9780345308580 and ISBN 0345308581.
