This book made me understand something important: I still have stories to discover and love and I might find them in novels.

As a history buff and a lover of developed character, I almost believed for a certain period that I will no longer be able to properly enjoy a novel unless it was a novel older than 60 years.

Belle du Seigneur proved me wrong: there is not a single character who is not interesting, not a single useless part, not a single poorly-written page. This book is extraordinarly rich even if the plot itself is pretty simple.

Either you love it or you hate it. I simply adore it.
