The First Actress: A Novel of Sarah Bernhardt by C.W. Gortner

5.0

Another absolutely riveting book. I have always liked the author and the way that he dealt with his female characters. Not shying away from what made them human.

But this made me love Sarah in a very intimate way. And I loved to follow her story to the end. A story about an actress, who was a pioneer in so many things. A single mother, a single woman and all around complicated.
