I’ve really been wanting to read this one. The setting sounds particularly to my taste I have to say!

Sounds a fascinating read. The author is new to me and one I will keep an eye out for. Thanks for the review.

I have really enjoyed the two books I have read by Humphreys. I will have to read this one at some point.

I find Helen Humphreys very interesting as an author. She seems to find such interesting subjects to write about!

Your thoughtful review makes the book sound so much more interesting than that generic cover implies! I love Hugo’s poetry (much more than his novels) and have a 1940s biography of Sainte-Beuve (containing a b&w photo plate of a painting of a young Mme. Hugo, looking quite the beauty but also slightly supercilious), but can’t recall ever having encountered either man in fiction before. Thank you for this; I will definitely take a closer look.

Sounds fascinating. You definitely sold me on this one. It goes on my Christmas Wish List. I’m not big on literary fiction but when you throw in historical and France, I’m there.

This sounds fascinating. I’ll have to look for it – I think I’d like it and I’m almost sure my mother would love it.

You’ve sold me on this one! It sounds so lovely, and I adore novels about real people and events.
