From the publisher
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. BRIEF ENCOUNTERS: classic novellas and captivating stories, to be read in a single sitting or savoured over days
