Addressing the history of France and elsewhere through its women, those who made history I enjoyed it a lot, but this one annoyed me than anybody I have "survived" very painfully on page 121. This is not a book writer or historian, this book is a journalist who comments, all critical in terms of 1985 and it is unbearable, everything is explanation texts, this is a book for a teacher of elementary school history in primary school. This book is very well documented and sourced, but at no time did I was carried away in the eighteenth century, every time the author goes back to the twentieth century. This book tells the story of Madame Recamier seen and explained by the author, this book tells what the author thinks of the life of Madame Récamier in a pompous, affected Germain des Prés!
