Delphine Delamare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Delphine Delamare (1822 - 1848) was a French housewife. She committed suicide by taking prussic acid (known today as cyanide). Delamare's adulterous affairs were the inspiration for the character Emma Bovary in Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" in 1857.
