About the author
Born Andrée Magdeleine Husson in Paris on April 15, 1882, she wrote under the pen name André Corthis. She came from an artistic family and was the niece of painter Rodolphe Julian.
Her breakthrough came early: she received the Prix Femina in 1906, which helped launch a long career in French letters. She wrote novels, poetry, and other works, and her books were widely read in the first half of the 20th century.
Corthis died in Paris on August 8, 1952. Remembered as a successful and visible literary figure of her time, she remains associated with the strong start of her career and her place among notable French women writers.
