The Will of Olympia, Chantal Thomas

The story of two sisters from a poor background and very religious. One of them escaped while the other is placed in a convent ....
After some years the youngest decides to go looking for one she admired so much ...

Brrrrr, it was not good to be a young woman in the eighteenth. Grandeur and decadence of a Cinderella who all failed to succeed.
A beautiful book that suits the author manages to make us forget his scholarship and to serve an exciting romantic intrigue.
We must however take this book as an anti fairy tale and not the absolute reality. The cartoon was omni-present and manifest anti-monarchy ....
For those who are sad (and me), reading this book can become quite painful ....
