in Paris and is content with hel
surroundings and her life.
Speaking of her book she said;
1T took me ten years to wrtts

The book, called Marie Claire,
tells of the time when the writer
as an orphan, was taken to an as

lbeing adopted by a farmers fam
lily. Of her affection for the farmer
sen and her dismissal from the fam
