This was on my list for November and I did indeed read it.

It was freaking awesome.

So cute, so innocent, so romantic. It was very Jane Austeny with all the groups of young people who needed to marry, some for money, and some just for love. There were mix-ups and traded partners and accepted and denied marriage proposals. Oh and don't forget the big fancy castle that crumbles into the sea. Everything in the end is summed up perfectly and everyone lives happily ever after.
It was a perfect Sunday afternoon read. I would even read it again, and again.

Highly enjoyable.

I have to also say that I tried Claudine and Colette. There must be something lost in translation because it just seems to be missing something. There is too much dialogue and the phrasing seems off. There isn't enough description and just in the first few pages there are too many characters.
This one will be going right back on the shelf until I can read it in the original French. (And yes I can read French, I just have a hard time speaking French),

On to the next one.
