1898 Colette is a charming, lighthearted 19th-century romance about a young, rebellious orphan girl trapped in a gloomy chateau by her strict, eccentric aunt. Desperate for freedom and romance, Colette prays a nine-day Catholic novena to Saint Joseph for a handsome husband. When the saint fails to answer her fast enough, she throws his heavy statue out of her second-story window in a fit of frustration.In a hilarious twist of fate, the flying statue strikes a wealthy, handsome young nobleman riding past the castle, knocking him unconscious. Deeply guilty, Colette brings the wounded gentleman inside to nurse him back to health, causing the two to fall deeply in love and granting Colette the exact escape she originally prayed for. taped front binding and pages as seen, old bookmark stain
