«Pour l'amour de Marie Salat» is the novel by Régine Deforges, published by Albin Michel in paperback (160 pages, in French).
Régine Deforges fictionalises a real discovery: three antique postcards found in an antiques shop. They were love letters between two married women from a village in south-west France, a seamstress and a factory worker. Régine Deforges imagines Marie Salat's replies and traces a clandestine relationship marked by desire and social pressure.
«Pour l'amour de Marie Salat» was originally published in 1986; the real postcards were exchanged in 1903 and 1904, and Régine Deforges notes that the names and places are imaginary.
For readers of French literature and for those seeking love stories between women in a historical context.
Régine Deforges was a French author, editor, director, and playwright. Her book La Bicyclette bleue was the most popular book in France in 2000 and it was known by some to be offensive and to others for its plagiarism, neither of which was proved.
