Could definitely see this being a 4 or 5 star read for a lot of people, but I read it too closely to another book with an extremely similar premise and kept finding myself losing interest for that reason. Beautiful writing though.
If you suspect that Dumas is French, then you have obviously been reading my blog for a while and know that I am currently obsessed with all things French. This book was recommended in Great French Books and, since I had it in my TBR (and it's been there for a good year), I decided to give it a read.
Would you like it? Do you like to read stories about poor young women who give themselves to rich fellows? In real life, this apparently happened to Dumas. It's quite sad, really. I'm starting to find that many (most?) French books are quite sad.
A vapid stream of half-formed and contradictory consciousness.
et puis il n'avait plus su quoi lui dire. et puis il le lui avait dit. il lui avait dit que c'était comme avant, qu'il ne pourrait jamais cesser de l'aimer, qu'il l'aimerait jusqu'à sa mort.
mon petit je pense que je t'aimerais jusqu'à ma mort puisque je n'ai jamais pu t'aimer proprement.
