really liked it
bookshelves: 18th-century-women-authors, france, classics, widows

I love over-the-top romanticism and traaaagedy, plus I like peeking into such a different worldview, so four stars.

Though a word to the wise - I like this novel as much for being a historical curiousity as its merits as a work of fiction (to modern eyes, it can seem prosy and drawn-out, but to me, the leisurely unfolding is part of its charm).
