You must be wary, says Colette, of insignificant people who stick to you, like the barnacle, that parasite of the seas, and precipitate you into adventure in spite of yourself.
Because Lucette d'Orgeville gives up six weeks of paradise with her beloved in exchange for a handful of diamonds, Colette finds herself in X...-les-Bains, a horrified tenant of a hideous chalet. To escape this ugliness, she moves into the hotel of the place. Thus enter her life the bourgeois Mme Haume and her husband Gérard, the protagonist of "Chambre d'hôtel"...
The second short story in the collection, "The Rain Moon", evokes the dark mirages of witchcraft.
From one story to the next, Colette deploys all her talents as a painter and storyteller.
