On 24th July, 1846, Gustave Flaubert, 24, meets Louise Colet, a model for sculptor James Pradier. She is beautiful, ten years older than him, and she is mostly known for her romance mischiefs and her strong character.
This is a love at fi rst sight. Louise gives herself totally. Two days of a crazy love. The third day, Gustave goes to Croisset, next to Rouen, where his mother and his niece live. Actually, Gustave remains the lover of a stronger mistress: literature. A workaholic, he goes and goes over his words again, giving himself to one masterpiece: Madame Bovary.
Louise waits, loses patience, gets mad. And Gustave tries to calm her down. From 1846 to 1848, then from 1851 to 1855, their tormented affair has its ups and downs. But it will give birth to one of the most beautiful correspondence of French literature.
