Publisher Description

Colette’s elegant, unsettling study of love turned hostile - and all because of a cat.

A young marriage begins to sour, poisoned by rivalry and resentment. At its centre is a cat – adored by the husband, despised by the wife – whose presence exposes the quiet cruelty and emotional imbalance of the household.
