About the author
Françoise de Graffigny
126 books6 followersFrançoise de Graffigny, née d'Issembourg Du Buisson d'Happoncourt (11 February 1695 - 12 December 1758), was a French novelist, playwright and salon hostess.
Initially famous as the author of Lettres d'une Péruvienne, a novel published in 1747, she became the world's best-known living woman writer after the success of her sentimental comedy, Cénie, in 1750. Her reputation as a dramatist suffered when her second play at the Comédie-Française, La Fille d'Aristide, was a flop in 1758, and even her novel fell out of favor after 1830. From then until the last third of the twentieth century, she was almost forgotten, but thanks to new scholarship and the interest in women writers generated by the feminist movement, Françoise de Graffigny is now regarded as one of the major French writers of the eighteenth century.

Je met deux étoiles par respect pour l’autrice et pour l’édition qui est très réussie mais c’était ennuyant.
L’histoire n’est pas très interessante d’après moi et l’écriture est très lourde, il m’était impossible de lire plus d’une lettre à la fois tellement il y avait peu d’action.
Bref je croise les doigts pour que le BAC ne porte pas la dessus.
Si quelqu’un cherche un livre du genre un peu plus intéressant, j’ai commencé les lettres persanes, qui s’annonce plus fun à lire
