Camille Claudel, A Novel, is the true-to-life story of a great sculptress driven insane by a male-dominated society. Claudel lived for ten years with sculptor Auguste Rodin, at first happily, but in a relationship that over time deteriorated into hatred and psychosis on her part. Women in the 1800s were often seen as second-class citizens in the worlds of business and art. Rarely do the history books expose the severe impact of such a society on the female psyche. Alma H. Bond, a psychologist who has written 11 nonfiction and fiction works, is eminently qualified to write about Claudel's descent into insanity. Her biographical novel offers a close look into the heart of a woman artist ultimately rejected despite her genius.
