The is the story of the rise to fame of unconventional French author Colette (1893-1954), from arriving in Paris at the end of the 19th century, and her first attempts at writing guided by her husband Willy, to the huge success of her Claudine novels (published under Willy’s name!). It is only when she began to publish under her own name in 1910 that the exploitation and derision she had been subjected to came to light, and she was able to liberate herself through her writing. It is an example to us all that this incredibly complex, gifted and determined woman was able to reinvent her life, and never allowed her spirit to be broken.
