Cannot recommend this highly enough. Great emotional sensitivity and intelligence, looking into the nuanced whys of the life of a Paris courtesan and the double standards she contends with. Opera lovers will recognise much of it, even if it does lack music ;) Free to download or read here: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1608 #ReadingOpera
