Princess de Cleves

The Princesse de Clèves by Marie-Madeleine de LaFayette

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


For the time it was written, it's a pretty racy story of passion and illicit love. By today's standards, it's not nearly so! All that being said, I enjoyed it after I got used to the style and the more stilted language than what I typically read.

Recommended to people interested in the time period - both in literature and history.
