Veerle moest dit boekje lezen voor Frans en ik heb haar erbij geholpen. Het is een heel erg pakkend boek en het weerspiegeld zeer goed de problemen van die tijd in Frankrijk.

Wow! It took me the whole of 2021 to get through this book. I won't lie; sometimes it was a struggle to keep at it when the plot was interrupted by 18 chapters of Waterloo play-by-play, or a whole section of The History of Convents in France directly followed by a second section of The History of This Particular Convent.

I'd probably rate this book 5 stars if I was a lot smarter and knew a lot more about French history, ancient Greek and Roman literature, and things like that.

Thanks for this Christmas present, Lizzie!
