I thought it was another book, when I started reading it, and I got caught up. It's ahrd to enjoy a story where the main character is falsely accused and caught, but the climax of the story is worth it.

Charming, hilarious in its overwrought sentimentality, and deeply sympathetic to all those swept up in political conflicts. Dumas shows an innocent pair attempting to lead noble lives amid the Dutch Revolution of the 1670s. Don't let the early political chapters dissuade you. Dumas will surprise with this elegantly structured love story. Give this underrated classic a try!
