Hi Killermunchkin,
Thanks for your question.
The author who dated Chopin was George Sand: 'the pen name of Aurore,
Baronne Dudevant, a well-known novelist and Chopin's friend,
companion, and lover.'
http://staff.mwsc.edu/~bhugh/recit/crbnotes/chopinpreludenotes.html
'George had open and notorious relationships with famous men (artists,
writers, musicians) she knew in Paris, including Jules Sandeau, Alfred
de Musset, Frédéric Chopin, and others. She was friends with the best
of them: Eugène Delacroix, Franz Liszt...and of course, most famously,
with Chopin. She and Chopin had a complicated relationship, going from
friends, to lovers (briefly), to eventually being more like mother and
son. Their relationship was one of the most intriguing and unlikely in
history. Chopin was aristocratic, well-behaved, finicky, proper, a bit
stuffy even (gasp!!).'

Sand's books include 'Indiana', 'Valentine', 'Lelia', 'A Winter in
Majorca' (1841) and 'Story of My Life' (1853) among others.
