Une Vie BBCR4

Little Gate, Etretat, Normandy
Fifteen minute drama Une Vie is on BBC Radio 4 all week 10:45 am/7:45 pm.  Aimee-Ffion Edwards plays Jeanne in a week long adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's first novel.  The character of Jeanne is based on his mother who appears as a character in my novel The Lady in Grey, a fictional exploration of the life of her son.  Une Vie charts the rocky marriage of Maupassant's parents although he remained on good terms with his feckless father even after their acrimonious split.   The story is set in his home in Etretat pictured above.
