Summary: "Sido; suivi de Les vrilles de la vigne" by Colette is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the author's mother, "Sido," exploring her character and the life they led in the French countryside, touching upon themes of nature, family dynamics, and the contrast between provincial and urban life. As the protagonist reflects on her childhood memories, readers are introduced to a vibrant world marked by Sido's strong personality, floral imagery, and the tender relationship between mother and daughter. The opening of the book establishes a deep and nostalgic relationship between the narrator and her mother, vividly describing Sido's strong provincial identity and her occasional condescension towards the Parisians' pride in their city. With engaging and often humorous observations, Sido makes a case for the virtues of rural life while drawing attention to her daughter’s desires and struggles. Through rich and poetic descriptions of their garden and the changes of seasons, along with dialogues capturing familial affection and tension, the text sets the stage for a profound exploration of Sido's life and the legacy she leaves behind.
