Such a fun time at the Summer Reading kick off. For those of you whose kids are grown, they have a program for adults at most libraries.

Finished this tonight. Initially I read it, then put it aside, then picked it up again, etc. As usual, I need to sit on the book before i review it here. I am glad I read it.
so-soTwo pages of notes front and back, a few dozen tabs and this book is finally done… I was very much NOT the intended audience for this book and it shows in my notes.
Not to complain, but the margins in my book are too small for my notes… so I now have a yellow notepad to be snarky on.
One point of complaint…. There is too much untranslated French in here. I‘m creating a personal glossary for the book… since in my infinite wisdom, I took Spanish in school, not French.
pickEnjoyable middle school read about Marion, a young girl chosen to serve Madame de Montespan, Louis XIV's favorite.
Marion, daughter of a gardener, is a gifted nose. Her talent for perfume is going to place her in the middle of an intrigue to kill the queen...
so-soCompletely undecided on this.
Very cleverly woven story which manages prehistoric lectures with current activism, told by an unreliable narrator who possibly doesn't remember her true self and identity.
I found it hard to keep track of characters at times, but did appreciate the overall story.
