This memoir presents a detailed account of the life of the renowned actress Sarah Bernhardt, offering an intimate look at her personal struggles, triumphs, and the lesser-known aspects of her life outside the stage. It draws on the memories and confessions of Madame Pierre Berton, who was close to Bernhardt, to unveil the compelling story of a woman who achieved greatness against numerous odds. The opening of the memoir sets a reflective tone, emphasizing the paradox between Sarah Bernhardt's public image as an invincible theatrical icon and her private challenges, including her unconventional birth and the struggles she faced as an illegitimate child. Madame Berton expresses her complex feelings toward Bernhardt, suggesting that their relationship was marked by both affection and resentment. Readers are introduced to Bernhardt's tumultuous early life, characterized by poverty, familial separation, and societal scorn, as well as her extraordinary ambition to rise to fame and master the art of acting. Through vivid anecdotes and personal reflections, Woons begins to paint a portrait of a multifaceted woman whose remarkable legacy as an actress belied her human vulnerabilities.
