Why read it?
1 author picked Angelique as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The first book of the captivating, unforgettable Angélique series hooked me from the very beginning.
Coming from poverty in Paris, the beauty traveled the world in dangerous, exciting, and shocking ways, often using her sexuality to help achieve her desires. I started reading this book when I was a young mother living in Trinidad and have read the entire series during the course of my own world travels.
Angélique epitomizes female survival. Like so many of us, she endures incredible challenges and sufferings alongside joys but eventually triumphs.
From Patricia's list on women who confront societal norms.
