Our Shelf Talker

To my surprise, I couldn’t put this down-this goes in the category of learning what it is like to live in another’s shoes--not shoes we want to wear but important to understand Madame de Stael an early independent female -full of passion, wit and courage, a force of nature in Napoleonic France. She held the limelight as a philospher, political figure and prolific writer--What a character to spend some hours with-I was intrigued and charmed and enlightened. Perfect for bookclubs or a quiet afternoon.
