She holds a Doctorate in nineteenth-century French literature from Université Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle in France.

She will introduce her work about  Solitude in Maupassant and will also suggest the reading or re-reading of 2 or 3 short stories in order to engage with the attendees.

In a further session later in the year she will examine :  the transition from sought-after solitude to destructive isolation among singles in Maupassant’s works.
