The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas
5.0
19/10/2023
Bumping this up to 5 stars because this was a delight to come back to! Having a bit more knowledge about the tulip mania certainly helped in my enjoyment, as was the realization of just how central Rosa was to the story. Cornelius may have been dubbed the protagonist by Dumas, but Rosa was the protagonist in my heart.

While I knew I couldn’t expect this to have the same impact that Monte Cristo did due to sheer size, it still had quite the impact on me! Even though I only have 2 of his books read, Dumas is very quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.
