Le storie d'amore nascono quando ancora non possiamo definirle. Con l'impazienza di scoprire le carte e smettere di giocare all'indifferenza, con un invito tanto atteso per un caffè, con un desiderio annegato in un bicchiere di spumante, quando alla fine della festa tutti se ne sono andati. È un'intuizione che diventa evidenza, una scommessa ancora da vincere. Senza nemmeno accorgersene, ci si ritrova a diventare un noi: due intenti si uniscono, due vite si incastrano. Un incontro casuale svela l'inizio di qualcosa che al caso non lascia niente.

Personnage souvent insupportable : ambitieuse, égoïste, avare, capricieuse, Colette nous est pourtant étrangement proche et familière. Toute sa vie, en quête d'amour, souvent déçue, elle se retourne sans cesse vers son enfance pour retrouver celle dont elle n'a jamais réussi à se détacher, sa mère, Sido. Son génie réside dans une vision simple de la vie. A travers l'observation des êtres humaines, des animaux et des plantes, elle réalise ce miracle de parler un langage qui trouve un écho en chacun de nous. Elle possède en particulier l'art subtil de faire parler les animaux, notamment les chats, sans jamais leur prêter des sentiments humains. On a dit qu'elle était un des rares écrivains "à pouvoir être lu par les filles dans un bordel et les gens de goût extrêmement cultivés".
