The story takes place in 1650. Marie is 11 years old. An orphan and commoner, she was taken in by the Baron and Baroness of Rochecourt. Raised with their children, she learned to read and write. She loves the theater and writes a comedy about life at the castle. One day, the Baron announces the arrival of Pierre Corneille.
A historical novel full of twists and turns about women’s access to writing, half of which is theater in Alexandrian verse.
