À l’âge de 9 ans, la narratrice de Place Colette est victime d’une erreur de diagnostic qui la cloue sur un lit d’hôpital, le corps prisonnier d’une coquille de plâtre. Au terme de trois années de calvaire, un professeur finit par découvrir la véritable maladie?; il l’opère et la sauve. La jeune fille a passé ce temps immobile à découvrir la littérature et les textes classiques. Elle voue une passion sans limite au théâtre. Revenue à la vie, elle tourne autour de la Comédie-Française et de la place Colette. Le jour de ses 13 ans, elle entre dans la loge d’un comédien dont elle est tombée amoureuse. Bien qu’il ait trente ans de plus qu’elle, elle lui propose de devenir son cadeau d’anniversaire. Ce roman, qui aurait pu s’intituler Détournement de majeur, est l’histoire d’une double initiation, à l’amour charnel et à la passion du théâtre. Écrit à la première personne, il est pourtant aux antipodes de ce que l’on qualifie d’autofiction?: le mensonge enveloppé dans une rhétorique de vérité. C’est un «?roman-vrai?», où l’auteur se cherche et finit par faire tomber le masque. Nathalie Rheims est écrivain. Place Colette est son dix-septième livre.

Paris, 1947: Colette Rossant returns to Paris after waiting out World War II in Cairo among her father's Egyptian-Jewish relatives. Initially, the City of Light seems gray and forbidding to the teenage Colette, especially after her thrill-seeking mother leaves her in the care of her bitter, malaisé grandmother. Yet Paris will prove the place where Colette awakens to her senses. Taken under the wing of Mademoiselle Georgette, the family chef, she develops a taste and talent for French cooking. The streets of Paris soon become Colette's own as she navigates the outdoor markets and café menus and emerges into her new, gastronomical self. Return to Paris is an extraordinary coming-of-age story that charts the course of Colette's culinary adventures -- replete with expertly crafted recipes and family photographs. An exploration of passion in all its flavor and texture, Colette's memoir will live in the hearts and palates of readers for years to come.

Colette's blissful life with her father crumbles before her eyes when she takes a frightening dare in the meadow of her home island, just to prove that she isn't 'chicken'. Her father Steven, unable to believe what she had done, leaves home, tearing his little girl's heart and replacing his fun self with her strict mother, Brenda. However, Colette is able to turn her life around and get on just fine without her father- so everyone thinks. When it all becomes too much she runs away from home into the meadow where everything started, and meets the mysterious Matthew James! View Colette and Matthew's relationship like you've never seen it before!

The power of Colette's work comes from its modernist storytelling. Colette was a pioneering, ground-breaking modernist writer, but has not always had her originality and worth recognized in Britain. Her work provocatively uses unstable narratives, gaps, silences, fairytale, mythical tropes, and sensual evocations of childhood, sex, and landscapes. In this book, Michèle Roberts examines how Colette invents new forms to express her unsettling content on desire, perversion, ageing, and different forms of love. Delving into four keys texts, Roberts explores Colette's willingness to break open taboos about older woman and desire, as well as hidden and forbidden aspects of human longings and pleasures. Through these re-readings, Roberts discovers that Colette's work is even more entrancing, more disturbing, and more original than she first thought.

For the seasoned Parisian traveller or the novice looking to get off the beaten track Cahill provides a roadmap to parts of the city most visitors will never see In a city that is the destination of millions of travelers every year, it can be difficult to find your way to its lovely, serene spaces. Away from the madding crowds, the gardens of Paris offer the balm of flowers, tall old trees, fountains, ponds, sculptures, with quiet Parisians reading Le Monde, taking the sun, relishing the peace. These places are often tucked away, off the beaten tourist track, and without a guide they're easy to miss: The Jardin de l'Atlantique, out of sight on the roof of Gare Montparnasse. The enchanting Jardin de la Vallée Suisse, invisible from the street, accessible only if you know how to find the path. The Square Boucicaut, its children's carousel hidden inside a grove of oak and maples. Square Batignolles, the shade of the old chestnut trees an inspiration to the painter Édouard Manet and poet Paul Verlaine. Hidden Gardens of Paris features 40 such oases in quartiers both posh and plain, as well as dozens of others "Nearby" to the featured green space. It is arranged according to the geographic sections of the city—Île de la Cité, Left Bank, Right Bank, Western Paris, Eastern Paris—a lively and informative guide that focuses on each place as a site of passionate cultural memory.
