2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Okay Book By BeautyWithin I was reading this for a class assignment. Mostly about a woman that decides not to cheat on her husband although she loves another man. It's okay I guess but I would not recommend it.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. intimate portrait of Intrigue and love in the French court By Julianne Quaine Book number 12 in 1001 books you must read before you die. Known as the first novel written in French it relates the story of courtiers in the court of Henri II of France around the end of his reign in 1559. Written a century later with a number of known historical characters including Catherine de Medici (Henri's wife), Mary Stuart, the Dauphine's wife, known as the Reine Dauphine and fleeting mentions of the ascension to the throne of England by Elizabeth I the story is of a young married woman the Princess of Cleves thrown into the political and romantic intrigue of the royal court who attempts not to be drawn into an affair with a much admired and sought after courtier, the Duc de Nemours whom she has fallen in love with. In trying to control her passion she turns to her husband for assistance but as could be predicted it all turns to custard with the husband's jealousy and the lover attempting to sway her while she tries to ignore and control her feelings. The book has some wonderful intimate moments describing the emotional turmoil of the wife in her struggles, the husband's attempts to treat the wife's confession with the compassion that it deserves, and the Duc's attempts to observe the Princess from afar, hoping eventually she will turn to him after her husband's death. I think I could have done with a better translation - buying the free kindle version without foot notes in novels published a few centuries ago is a bit hit and miss!
