Customer Reviews:
Enthralling, glamorous, emotional September 28, 2006 This is a great novel to read in French as it's not too difficult linguistically and there's a strong narrative which flows effortlessly and keeps you going. Written during the reign of Louis XIV, it's set in the court of Henri II and tells the story of Mme de Cleves, her marriage and her doomed love for the Duc de Nemours. It's elegantly written without being dense, and perfectly accessible for A level students.
