A History of France by John Julius Norwich

5.0

This book was published in 2018, the same year that Norwich passed away. Learning he had passed saddened me as he’s one of my favorite authors. Especially in this book, he infused his writings with a wit and humor and a frankness that I loved. His love for France shone in this tome. I learned so much reading it, and it amazed me at how interconnected the histories of France and Britain really are. Fantastic book. Rest well Mr. Norwich.
