Summary

Anaïs Nin lives in the Parisian suburbs and struggles with the anguish of her life as a banker''s wife. Several times uprooted, she grew up between 2 continents, 3 languages, and struggles to find her place in a society which relegates women to supporting roles. She wants to be a writer, and since childhood has invented a loophole: her diary.
