Notes
Description
Sarah's highly dramatic life starts when she returns to Paris after her convent schooling and is confronted by her mother's demand to follow in the family trade as a courtesan. To escape this fate, Sarah pursues a career onstage. With her striking beauty and innovative performances in a bohemian theatre, Sarah catapults to unexpected success. Told in her own voice, this is Sarah Bernhardt's incandescent story - a fascinating, intimate account of a woman whose unrivalled talent and indomitable spirit has enshrined her in history as the Divine Sarah. Author of "The Romanov Empress."
