Book summary

In Colette's THE VAGABOND, it is 1910 Paris, and Renée is divorced from her husband and working in a music hall--as Colette herself did at around the same time. Renée's life is not easy, and she is tempted when a wealthy man named Maxime falls in love with her and wants to marry her. However, she understands that she is at heart a vagabond, and despite the limitations of her life--and the attractions of a life with a man who loves her--she knows that only as a single woman can she be true to herself. Colette's heavily autobiographical novel is a classic of feminist writing--and a poetic and deeply moving story. This 1910 novel was Colette's first fully realized, mature work of fiction.
