Webb fuses fact, fiction in Rodin's Lover

French sculptor Camille Claudel, the muse and lover of her renowned peer Auguste Rodin, has inspired authors, playwrights and filmmakers for decades.

Author Heather Webb is the latest to examine their relationship. Her new novel, Rodin's Lover, tells the story from the viewpoints of both Rodin and Claudel, who spent the last three decades of her life in a mental institution.

Webb spoke about turning real lives into fiction and writing from a male perspective.
