I ...Thanks for all the comments - I do appreciate!<br /><br />I also felt Jeanne was somehow lost in this book. Maybe there weren't enough info available, I don't doubt original 18th century documents concerning such a woman would be few and far between. That's why I think a fictional novel would do this particular heroine more justice as you can patch it with your imagination rather with different trivia facts from the era. Of course it is only my personal opinion and I still enjoyed the book!Anachronisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398058819007642332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-57407020072156647392012-02-06T07:24:24.106+02:002012-02-06T07:24:24.106+02:00I love learning about inspiring historical women. ...I love learning about inspiring historical women.

I have a feeling that could be because there isn't as much research around related to Jeanne, so the author had to put in some filler. But it's still disappointing!Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-2067047129725581872012-02-05T19:51:51.015+02:002012-02-05T19:51:51.015+02:00Philibert?
