Book Review: The Paris Winter, by Imogen Robertson
I love me a good historical novel, and this was a good historical novel. The Paris Winter, by Imogen Robertson, follows Maud, and English woman studying art in Paris, who takes a job as a companion for a sister and brother. The story is set during the end of the Belle Époque, and does a particularly good job in differentiating between the wild optimism usually associated with the time period and the crippling poverty that was so pervasive and so often ignored.
