I really enjoyed this book. What a fascinating character, and it's so well researched. I can tell, even though I listened to the audiobook because the narrator paused just slightly before reading something in quotes. There are a bunch of history facts interspersed with Madame's life, and it's an easy way to get some knowledge. Re: the last chapter, I believe!
