Break Of Day by Colette
The novel explores the introspective journey of a woman in her fifties who retreats to her villa in the South of France, seeking solitude and reflection. As she observes the natural beauty around her and contemplates her past relationships and experiences, she grapples with themes of aging, independence, and the complexities of love. Through her introspection, she finds a sense of peace and acceptance, embracing the changes in her life and the freedom that comes with self-awareness and solitude.
