As he appears in the text:
“During a summer vacation in Brittany, Colette, forty-seven and married to Henry de Jouvenel, began an affair with her sixteen-year-old stepson, Bertrand de Jouvenel, a writer himself. She had already published Chéri, a novel about an affair between an older woman and a young man. Colette later confessed all to Henry, who was having an affair of his own with a Romanian princess. The marriage did not survive.”
