Summary 
A finely nuanced portrait of Violette LeDuc, one of the foremost French writers of the 20th century.

Writing is her ticket out of misery, and with the encouragement and mentorship of legendary intellectual Simone de Beauvoir, Violette achieves admiration, renown and controversy for her emotionally raw novels and memoirs.
