Book condition : very good. - Though married to Hippolyte Colet, Louise Colet (1810-1876) had a steamy eight-year affair, in two stages, with Gustave Flaubert. The relationship turned sour, however, and they broke up in March 1855. In 1859, Louise wrote a novel, Lui, a thinly disguised account of her affair with Musset and her frustration with Flaubert. However, Colet's book has failed to have the lasting significance of Flaubert's 1857 novel Madame Bovary.
