Revue de presse

The realization that Colette was a major literary talent is apparent on every page. --Irish Times

Retreat From Love is an important book in the Colette canon, for it shows Colette becoming aware of the value of her feeling of oneness with nature and learning to express it simply and poetically. --Times Literary Supplement

With languid abandonment Colette descibes sexual games played by three aristocrats . . . This English translation admirably captures the eroticism of the prose. --The Times
