Summary
Passionate, calculating, only sometimes honourable but always honest, Celestine is one of the great female characters in literature. The diary of a cambermaid was written as a satire of Parisian society in the wake of the Dreyfus Affair. Mirbeau brings a journalist's analytical eye to Celestine's adventures as she loses her innocence and becomes as corrupt and depraved as the men who exploited her
