Title : Louison or the Exquisite Hour - Fanny Deschamps - book

Summary :

This is a novel that perfectly lives up to its title: everything about it is exquisite, sparkling, light, and gracefully frivolous. In a language as delicate as the stature of its heroine, Fanny Deschamps reveals the first emotions of Louison, the bastard of the Duke of Conti, her first steps in life, and her missteps too, a few years before the French Revolution, in the rustle of silk and the sparkle of pearls. Those who loved La Bougainvillée will adore this suave and witty Louison. Claude Méheust, Marie-Claire This book can also be savored like a treat, as the author knows how to capture the sensuality of things (...). A colorful style, whose tone and elegance seem to come straight from the Age of Enlightenment. Françoise de Comberousse, France-Soir We meet Fragonard, Beaumarchais, and the great minds who, at the time, met in Paris (...). Louison's story is nothing but a collection of dazzling moments. And since Fanny Deschamps has not forgotten the primary requirement of journalism, one piece of information per line, she has also made it the most lively of reports on Paris in the 18th century. Danièle Mazingarbe, Madame Figaro
