A review by adogmomsbookishlife
The Women of Chateau Lafayette by Stephanie Dray

3.0

The history and how the author wove all three time periods together was intriguing. However, I really didn’t feel much connection to the characters until about 2/3 through the book when their stories started to intersect. At times it seemed to drag on, making it feel much longer than it’s 500ish pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the authors note and learning about what was factually accurate and what liberties the author took. The authors note made my understanding of the novel more comprehensive.
