Comment On Containing Books Désirée

such a nice story with pushes you to read more every day and gives you a good perspective abut the history after the french revolution and the life of royal ppl and their decisions!

hardcover library book - historical novel read in the late 70s.

This used to be one of my favorite books back when I was a teenager, but reading it again after all this time, I can't for the life of me figure out why. I don't know if it's the diary style, the translation, or if I've just changed very drastically since then. But honestly, I couldn't stand Désirée this time around. I thought she was childish (and since pretty much every man she interacts with, including her husband, tells her all the time how childish and stupid she is, I guess it can't be
