"There is no question that she was persecuted not so much for what she had openly done but very simply because she was a woman...eloquent and heartbreaking."-Vogue MagazineHer suicide was the clomax of a sensational case, a scandal that still reverberates throughout France. Her letters from prison record her ordeal. In a brilliant commentary, Mavis Gallant tells the story of the gifted and admired 30-year-old teacher whose love affair with a boy of 16, resulted in her persecution, imprisonment and ultimate destruction.The Affair of Gabrielle Russier has been selected by the New York Time Book Review as one of the noteworthy books of the year. A film, entitled To Die of Love and starring Annie Girardot, has been based on the case.
