Another great series of plot twists, diabolical schemes, and larger than life characters. This book is massive (close to 1000 pages), complex, and in some ways more old-fashioned than The Three MusketReading a novel by Alexandre Dumas is always a treat: it brings back the kind of joy of reading that I experienced as a kid, and it immerses me into the convoluted, but deeply entertaining, world of French history I grew up with.

Diane of Meridor, aged 23 years, lives a happy country life with her father. He explains her father that Duke of Anjou, a known seducer, has kidnapped her. There is only one man capable of making her keeping her faith in life: Bussy d'Amboise.It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet. Bit sad that again one of the main characters was killed off, just like in the Queen Margot happened. While their vicious personalities and ...The Library of Alexandria is an independent small business publishing house. They're the rule breakers, the troublemakers, the ones who scoff at societal conventions. Still a lot of plotting, and plenty of swashbuclinkg (if that is a word). The duke of Anjou takes Diana in the ball, and tries to abuse of her exercising his prerogatives of being the brother of the king. It really drives home how lonely it must have been to be a ruler constantly on guard against untrue friends.There are several strands to this story - a love story and the jester seems to have a secondary role.
