This week Lynx presents the story of French pop star Francoise Hardy. Adored by both the public and fellow artists (Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan were big admirers!) and with a career spanning close to 60 years (both onstage and screen), Francoise's talent and beauty had lead her to Muse status.

In 2008 Francoise published her incredibly honest and well written memoir The Despair of Monkeys and Other Trifles. In it she discusses both her career and her personal relationships including her unique 52 year long relationship to fellow French Icon Jacques Dutronc. Francoise's openness and honesty about the highs and lows of her personal affairs led to some introspection about what we are willing to give and take from our own relationships. We highly recommend you check out Francoise's book after listening to the episode!
