About the Book

Marguerite Don Quichotte nait en 1863 a Sancoins. A 3 ans, elle perd sa mere et est abandonnee avec sa s ur par son pere. Recueillie un temps par une tante, elle devient pensionnaire a l'hopital general de Bourges avant d'etre envoyee en 1877 dans une ferme a Sainte Montaine pres d'Aubigny-sur-Nere. Elle y sera bergere mais s'enfuit vers Paris en 1881 revant d'un destin meilleur. Mais les choses ne s'ameliorent pas. Elle est obligee d'accomplir des taches penibles pour survivre, devient sterile suite a la perte d'un enfant et recueille ses nieces malgre ses difficultes. Elle trouvera tout de meme la force d'obtenir la qualification de maitresse-ouvriere de confection et de creer un atelier de couture a Paris. C'est grace a l'une de ses nieces qu'elle sera presentee a Michel Yell, ecrivain, avec qui elle partagera ses jours jusqu'en 1912. Ce dernier mit la main sur quelques carnets ou Marguerite compilait de fort belle facon ses souvenirs. Il les presenta alors a ses compagnons du "groupe de Carnetin" compose d'hommes celebres comme Leon Werth, Leon-Paul Fargue ou Francis Jourdain. Ce dernier revelera les recits de Marguerite Audoux a Octave Mirbeau. Celui-ci enthousiaste a la lecture de ces memoires propulsera "Marie-Claire," le premier roman de celle que l'on appellera "la couturiere des lettres.""
About the Author: Marguerite Donquichote nait a Sancoins, le 7 juillet 1863. A l'age de trois ans, elle perd sa mere, et son pere abandonne ses deux filles. Marguerite et Madeleine, d'abord confiees a une tante, passent neuf annees a l'orphelinat de l'Hopital general de Bourges. De 1877 a 1881, Marguerite est placee, en tant que bergere d'agneaux et servante de ferme, en Sologne a Sainte-Montaine. L'orpheline s'etablit a Paris, ou elle vit des annees noires en exercant le metier de couturiere. Pendant ces annees de misere, en 1883, elle a un enfant qui ne survit pas, et dont l'accouchement penible lui vaut une sterilite definitive. A la meme epoque, sa s ur Madeleine lui laisse sa fille Yvonne, que la future romanciere eleve. C'est precisement cette niece quiva favoriser la carriere litteraire de sa mere adoptive: la jeune fille volage, a seize ans, se prostitue, a l'insu de sa tante, dans le quartier des Halles de Paris; or, un jeune homme s'eprend d'elle. C'est Jules Iehl, alias Michel Yell en litterature, un ami d'Andre Gide. Quand il prend conscience de la situation, il va voir la tante, avec qui il se console si bien que leur relation ne prendra fin qu'en 1912. Yell fait rencontrer a son amie un groupe d'intellectuels, ecrivains et artistes, parmi lesquels figurent Charles-Louis Philippe, Leon-Paul Fargue, Leon Werth et Francis Jourdain. Michel Yell decouvre que celle avec qui il partage ses jours (et qui, des 1895, a definitivement adopte le nom de sa mere: Audoux) a ecrit ses souvenirs, et d'une fort jolie facon. Il trahit le secret aupres de ses compagnons de route, qui constituent le groupe de Carnetin, du nom du village a l'est de Paris ou ils se reunissent chaque dimanche de 1904 a 1907. C'est a Octave Mirbeau que la couturiere des lettres doit ce veritable coup d'Etat du 2 decembre 1910: le Prix Femina que l'on decerne a l'ancienne bergere pour son roman intitule Marie-Claire. Le second livre ne parait que dix ans plus tard, apres le depart de Michel Yell et la mort d'Alain-Fournier, puis celle d'Octave Mirbeau, et au moment de l'adoption des trois fils d'Yvonne. L'Atelier de Marie-Claire, paru en 1920, rencontre un certain succes. C'est le debut d'un lent decrescendo. Elle publie neanmoins De la ville au moulin en 1926, puis La Fiancee, en 1932, et enfin Douce Lumiere, roman posthume qui sort fin 1937. La romanciere, decedee le 31 janvier de cette meme annee, est inhumee a Saint-Raphael."
