| Summary | "La Maison de Claudine" by Colette is a collection of autobiographical essays written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on the author's childhood memories, particularly focusing on her experiences growing up in a large house with a vibrant garden, and her relationships with family members—especially her mother. The narrative is steeped in nostalgia, exploring themes of innocence, family life, and the passage of time. The opening of "La Maison de Claudine" introduces the reader to the author's childhood home and the surrounding gardens, rich with detail and sensory descriptions. The protagonist, likely based on Colette herself, recalls the poignant absence of the children who once filled the space with laughter, as her mother calls out for them in vain. This section establishes a serene yet melancholic atmosphere where the youthful exuberance contrasts sharply with the present silence and loss. The author's reflections on her siblings and their adventures convey a sense of innocence intertwined with the bittersweet recognition of growing up and the inevitable passage of time, setting the tone for the following chapters that delve into her early life and experiences.
