so-so(1739, English translation 1740)
One man falls in love with a friend's wife after he and the wife accidentally have sex (Hey, it happens.) (I guess.) Another loves a woman who lacks a fortune, which is the one quality his family demands. And an English soldier loves a French nun. The subtitle says it's “an historical novel,“ but really it's more an amatory novel in historical setting, with buckets of tears and an occasional swoon.
Dilara *Snort* You've got to love the 18th century! I'm intrigued but at the same time, since I didn't really take to Mémoires du comte de Comminges by the same author, I'm not sure I want to spend time and effort deciphering Le siège de Calais 😋![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Mémoires du Comte de Commingeswynn @Dilara Of you didn't like the Count of Comminges, I wouldn't recommend this one either: the aesthetic is similar, although this one also has is interesting points and if anything it's a little more restrained. Very little 1mo
