4.5 stars!

Omg.. my heart is shattered! This is my first time reading a heavily based romance book(because I really don't like romance) but this book is such a fantastic book! I cried, I yelled at Armand a couple of times in frustration! This isn't a sugary love story! This is a sad love story! I loved the characters so much! Armand at the beginning has all of my heart! And Marguerite is such a lovely lady! If you love a great love story but also want downpour of sadness, then read this book! And prepare yourself for the ending..! My heart will never be the same!

I will 100% reread this book when I get older to see what I would think of this story as an adult and not a young adult.

Forse il libro più bello che abbia letto.
Mi ha regalato profonde massime su cui riflettere, riuscendo a descrivere la profondità dei sentimenti umani attraverso l'amore impossibile di una giovane coppia innamorata.
Straziante, mi ha commossa in più punti ma nulla mi avrebbe mai preparata al pianto che mi ha strappato il finale (seppur già sapevo come sarebbe andata!).
Marguerite è uno dei personaggi letterrari che ho amato più finora: questo libro ci apre il mondo emotivo di una cortigiana attraverso una rappresentazione straordinaria per l'epoca in cui è stato scritto, senza discostarsi mai dalla morale cristiana di cui è impregnata la società dell'epoca, partendo dal narratore e Armand stessi.
Dumas figlio ha saputo dare una voce distinta al narratore e Armand, e la sua penna ha creato personaggi credibili, anche quelli meno esplorati.
L'amore di Armand è passionale, geloso e adolescenziale mentre Marguerite ha un'universo emotivo di tutt'altro spessore; difatti nel capitolo XV quando gli espone i suoi sentimenti lo fa apparire ancora più piccolo messo a confronto con l'intelligenza emotiva da lei dimostrata.
