A review by blafferty
The Fool's Tale by Nicole Galland

5.0

When something makes me think about a book that I've read, I automatically check to see if I have it on my Goodreads shelves. This is one I missed, apparently. Normally I don't review past reads, because that would take up all of my spare time. This one gets special treatment.

This book is amazing. I feel like it wasn't written, it must have come magically into being on its own. It is confounding, surprising, and some parts make you cringe - like real life. It shocks me that someone could write a historical novel with the scope and plot of this book and make it seem so real.

It is beautiful, painful, and it will surprise you.
