Description

Marilyn Monroe’s life has inspired countless stories. La Gouvernante de Marilyn approaches hers through an often-overlooked figure: Eunice Murray, the housekeeper who shared her daily life during her final months.
Inspired by true events, this novel brings together two women who could hardly be more different: a reserved, deeply religious housekeeper and one of Hollywood’s most celebrated stars. Their unlikely relationship opens a conversation about fame, loneliness, trust, and the private life behind a public image.
Over eight weeks, explore the novel with Violaine de Landes through guided reading and lively discussion, expanding your French vocabulary and confidence in expressing your ideas along the way.
The course also coincides with a special literary event on Friday, October 2, from 12:30 to 3:00 PM at the Résidence de France in Beverly Hills. Enjoy a panel discussion with the author and the president of a Marilyn Monroe fan club, followed by a book signing and cocktail reception. Advance RSVP is required.
