I had to read this book in school (btw if you can i so recommend reading this book in french, it is just that much more beautiful), and normally reading for school is hard, but wow this book was anything but a task. the writing was beautiful, and the story and the characters was encapturing. Dumas fils makes you fall in love with Marguerite in a slow and loving way, her wit and power simply draws you in and she keeps you in her hold. this book was positively heartbreaking and to know that Dumas fils wrote this story about his life makes it that much more sad.
