![]() ![]() She has no family, and no one to take care of. At no point does it feel that Angelique has it easy. What I liked best about this book is how Danielle keeps the story real. She does find the love of her life and her happy ending, but none of them come easy. It is the story of how she gets forced into a life of service, and eventually, due to the cruel turn of events, ends up running a high-end brothel in Paris. Set in an era in England where women did not inherit their parents’ money or properties, even if they were duchesses, this is a story of Angelique, who gets thrown out of her house when her step-brother Tristan steps in as the new duke, after the death of her father. The Duchess is a coming-of-age tale of a teenaged girl. But once in a while it makes sense to read books referred by others, if only to expose yourself to different types of writing. The truth is, I am ambivalent towards feminism. ![]() She said if I enjoyed any feminist work, I’d like this book. The Duchess by Danielle Steele is the first book that I have read of the author. ![]()
