MY THOUGHTS:
The time period that this book is set in has always interested me and this book just helped to increase that interest. The beautiful central character of Marguerite is full of life and you just want to root for her as she finds her own way and her own life that is not dictated by her family. Loved it!

ABOUT THIS BOOK:
