Les larmes

Rate this book
Les Larmes : un buste de cire sculpté par la jeune Catherine, l'héroïne, dont l'énergie joyeuse triomphera de toutes les vicissitudes d'un temps troublé, la Régence. Antoinette, le modèle, éveille la passion de deux hommes : Sanson, le bourreau de Paris, et le duc d'Orléans lui-même. Mésaventures et complots se succèdent à vive allure : Catherine se bat pour sauver le Chevalier qu'elle aime des intrigues qu'il a fomentées et dont il risque d'être la première victime. Sur fond d'Histoire un roman alerte, haletant, qu'on lit d'une traite... non sans s'être interrogé sur les bizarreries de la destinée humaine. Où l'aventure conduit à l'essentiel.

It was very hard to struggle through this book. I was very confused by all the names. In addition, I could not do much with many terms, unfortunately.

Still, it was nice to read a story that mainly describes the development of a young girl into a woman who tries to save her master from his own overconfidence on the side.
