This book relates the discovery of the family history of of the mysterious Julia Herbert, at one time governess of Flaubert's niece and to whom he was devoted for over two decades. Using contemporary guide books and local histories the author throws light on the places, museums and galleries visited by Flaubert, and in an appendix the choses vues are related to his writings. The book interweaves all that is known of Juliet's life with that of Flaubert and suggest why all mentions of Juliet were eliminated in previous editions of the correspondence and also why so far no letters they wrote to each other have been found. 198 pages.
