![]() ![]() ![]() There were many points that were big on drama. Needless to say this book was banned in the past. As a person from twenty first century I can appreciate the effort to shed some light on lives of women about whom it was forbidden to talk about in polite society at the time. I find it endearing and noteworthy how the author portrayed courtesans and their lives. The titular character was based on a real courtesan the author was in love with. What I learned about the book afterwards was very enlightening. As much I liked the book I did not see it as “greatest love story in the world”. Our RL book club meeting was kinda loud and we poured our hearts into discussing the definition of love in the novel and the characters faults. ![]() The wording and wordsmithing was much appreciated. There was a noticeable difference between the writing style of this book and some modern novels I’ve been reading this year. At times it was very dramatic and angsty but I enjoyed those parts as well. I loved the melancholy feel to this book. I took to reading it very slowly some thirty pages at a time. It was an excellent book to get my reading mojo back on!įor a mere 250+ pages book it sure gave me a headache. ![]() It was a classic, a somewhat mysterious love theme AND it was not very long. Finished reading La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas fils,Īfter a rather dry reading period I was pleasantly surprised to see this book as an assignment for my RL book club. ![]()
