Title : Dear Visitor - Alphonse Boudard - book
Summary :
She, Hortense de Wilfried, is a great lady of the aristocracy, wife of a wealthy banker. She is still beautiful, approaching fifty. For more than thirty years, she collected lovers from her high society: artists, champions, and princes. In the 1950s, she decided, on the advice of a priest, to renounce her easy life and rediscover the faith of her childhood through charity. In this case, to devote herself to the most deprived of all... those convicted of common law. She became a prison visitor. An apostolate to which she devoted herself with exemplary self-denial. But the Devil had a big surprise in store for her. Temptation was thirty years old, with blue eyes that were called a whore mirror in slang, and he was the most seductive of thugs. A star of the prison. A criminal record as a robber, a thief of all trades, and above all, a master of escape. This is why Gilles Dastel is in a prison cell where the Countess of Wilfried comes to visit him to save his soul. And it is she who will lose it, his soul. She falls under the spell of the gangster. Gilles has all the powers to make her lose her passion. He is promised many years in prison. Hortense, with her money and her connections, will perform miracles to have him released as soon as possible. After that, they will have to live a love story that won't sink into the banality of household bread...
