«Le Blé en herbe» is the novel by Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, published by Editions 84 in paperback (125 pages, in French).
During a summer on the Breton coast, Vinca and Phil, two childhood friends, approach adulthood as the awakening of the senses and first stirrings of love test the bond between them. Colette’s prose wraps the seascape and human relationships in a lyrical, sensual tone.
The French edition was published in October 2000 in the Littérature française collection.
A suitable read for those interested in French fiction and coming-of-age stories.
