![]() ![]() One of the few downsides to the book was the lack of a clear thread connecting the different eras into which the author divided French literature. Even as someone who only dabbles in romance, I found the history of the genre and the ways it shaped and was shaped by French culture incredibly fascinating. I would rate this one PG-13.ĭespite the lack of explicit sex scenes, I would highly recommend this book to all fans of the romance genre. Some of these stories are not for the faint of heart, as they include adultery and other even more unusual romantic situations, but there are very few explicit sex scenes included. These glimpses into each era’s literature are spiced up by the addition of true anecdotes from the author’s personal experience in France. The author summarizes classic stories to give you a feel for the era, but leaves out just enough that you desperately want to read the complete work. How the French Invented Love is a history of love in French society, particularly French literature, from around 1100AD to today. ![]() Lacking a cohesive theme, but still interesting, elegant, and insightful. Review Summary: A fascinating read, with unbelievable anecdotes and captivating stories.
