Wow, she sure did lead an interesting and well traveled life. I can't say that I have ever heard of her, until now! Thanks for that and for visiting my blog.

Dearest Claudia,
Oh, she must be a great lady.
Good Luck on your A-Z Challenge, my friend.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
What a fascinating woman and writer. Thanks for enlightening us about her, Claudia. I like your theme of women writers for the challenge. All the best with it!
Wow, you sprung a surprise on us, Claudia. I'd never heard of her, either, but she sounds fascinating. Are any of her books available in English translations? I love your theme and am looking forward to the rest of the alphabet! (For this one I think I would've done A. S. Byatt.)
What an amazing woman. Thanks for a new discovery, Claudia. I am loving these posts xx
"...a sculptor of words, a purveyor of scents." Love this line!
Nice post, Claudia! What a beautiful woman Marthe Bibesco was!
Sounds like an intriguing and mysterious woman... or maybe I'm reading a lot into those quotes and the picture?
I am so happy that you found her interesting, I thought that you might find her unusual and completely new. As far as I know many of her books are translated in English, so I am sure you can enjoy them as well. Her writings are mostly in French, quite fascinating! Thank you all for your lovely comments, they did encourage me a lot!
