About this book

GERMAINE DE STAËL: Mistress to an Age.
An aristocrat and daughter of great wealth, she assisted at the birth of the French Revolution; her days and nights a turmoil of political and amorous intrigue, she wrote novels at the breakfast table and pamphlets while she changed her clothes. Disciple of constancy and the grand passion, she carried on ardent, profound love affairs with four brilliant, demanding men at the same time—and satisfied and tortured them all. Genius, great heart, great lover, any man who knew Germaine was hers forever.
"An unforgettable portrait of a many-sided woman...as remarkable, as biting as that legendary figure herself"—Saturday Review
