Lorsque d�bute leur vie commune, Alain et Camille sont deux amis d’enfance que tout en apparence rapproche. Mais leurs secr�tes r�veries les divisent. � Mon mariage, reconna�t Alain, contente tout le monde et Camille, et il y a des moments o� il me contente aussi, mais… � Ce qu’Alain aime en Camille, c’est une beaut� id�alis�e, faite d’immobilit� et de silence. Aussi est-il d�concert� par son exub�rance. Comme l’arriv�e d’une saison nouvelle, la d�couverte de leur intime division le met � la merci d’autres r�ves. Et c’est alors que le drame se noue. La chatte Saha sera d�sormais pour Alain la chim�re sublime qui domine sa vie et pour Camille la rivale d�test�e contre laquelle aucun proc�d� n’est trop brutal.
Avec une ma�trise et une sobri�t� sans �gales, Colette a compos�, en suivant les r�gles de l’art classique, une v�ritable trag�die d’amour � trois personnages.

Couverture dessin�e par Leonor Fini.
