pottedplnt 's review for:
The Return of Martin Guerre
by Natalie Zemon Davis
surprisingly compelling and very readable.
I liked the point about how french peasents didn't have mirrors. Think about all the times we check ourselves out in the mirror, how much we primp and preen. We know so much about ourselves from our reflections (and then comparing ourselves to others). Imagine thinking your appearence was whatever people repetedly told you & 'stock sayings' about appearence.
