A fabulous roman

"Le Journal d'une Courtisane", by Priya Parmar, or "Exit the actress"
As soon as I began reading this book, I couldn't stop me anymore. The 540 pages was read in 3-4 days. And that is very fast for my niveau!
I was inspired by this book for the name "boudoir" of my blog. And I cried after I finished it, just because it was so beautiful. Usually I never cry for "Happy Endings".
It's the story of a girl who got from selling oranges to acting. And finally charming the King. It is based on a true story of the 17th century, and presented as a diary and sometimes there are some letters.
I really love historical romans, and what I really appreciate in this roman, are the descriptions of the garderobes. For me, who loves the style of the 17-20th century, theatre and true story, this book was perfect.

At this time I can definitely tell: "Le Journal d'une Courtisane" by Priya Parmar, is my favorite one!
