Title : Fanny Stevenson - Between passion and freedom - Alexandra Lapierre - book
Summary :
She lived a thousand lives. She was a gold prospector in the deserts of Nevada, she cleared jungles in the South Sea Islands, she was one of the first female painters in Impressionist Paris.
One spring day in 1876, in an inn on the banks of the Loing, she meets a young Scottish intellectual. He is eleven years younger than her. He suffers from lung disease and people fear for his life. Between these two people, whom everything separates - she is American, married, mother of three children; he is the only son of austere bourgeois Victorians - love explodes. A love stronger than all prohibitions. Stronger than illness and death. A love that will make the young rebel one of the most famous literary geniuses of his time. Robert Louis Stevenson, the immortal author of Treasure Island and Strange Case of Jekyll and Mr Hyde .
Fanny Stevenson is the passionate tale of an extraordinary life, a life teeming with adventures, dreams, and conquests. The life of a woman who was the only love of one of the greatest writers. A woman who, all by herself, embodies an era, a myth, and a world.
