![]() ![]() ![]() Set in mid-seventeenth century France, the titular heroine is the daughter of an impoverished nobleman - is there any other kind? - who is a bit of a wild tomboy in her youth, playing in the forest with the village peasants, but also a budding beauty with golden hair and green eyes. A colleague once recommended the Angelique books by Anne Golon, knowing how much I love The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, but the English translations are hard to find (and expensive!) Luddite that I am, I finally discovered a PDF copy of the first novel, which I have been reading on my Kindle for the past two weeks! 800 pages for a first novel, which eventually became a series with twelve sequels!ĭespite the small text, which I had to read in landscape format, and the never-ending pages, I did enjoy Angelique. ![]()
