Just this week I picked up a copy of Dunant’s Sacred Hearts, now out in the United States in paperback. I’ve loved everything else she’s written, and I think I may like this one best of all. To tempt you, here’s an interview with Dunant in Sarah Johnson’s blog, Reading the Past
Reading and Writing History and Fiction (and sometimes food)
Hi Lucy, thanks for linking to my interview! I hope you enjoy it also. I haven’t yet read her In the Company of the Courtesan (shame on me!) but after speaking with her, I think I need to read it asap.
Isn’t it wonderful? I read it last fall from the library and just LOVED it 🙂 Have you read Tracy Chevalier’s Remarkable Creatures yet? It too is fantastic.
I loved the characters in Courtesan. Very original.
Teresa, i have not yet read that Chevalier, but it looks right up my alley. I’ll probably buy it during our big local booksale at the end of May.
