Description
Émile Zola's life was marked by turmoil and bravery. In 1898, he was sentenced to prison for defending a wrongly convicted man in the Dreyfus Affair. Fleeing France with just hours to spare, Zola settled in south London, where he struggled to adapt to his new surroundings. Despite this, he found solace in writing and navigating the complexities of his personal life. Zola's story is one of remarkable resilience. As a writer, he was driven to create, but also faced the challenges of balancing his relationships with two women - his children's mother and his wife. This book tells the incredible true story of Zola's bravery in the face of great adversity, shedding light on the turbulent politics and personal struggles of one of literature's most fascinating figures. Michael Rosen brings this remarkable story to life, offering a nuanced exploration of Zola's life and times.
