A review by sloejoe
Twenty Years After by Alexandre Dumas
4.0
Another Dumas marathon completed. This is almost as much fun as The Three Musketeers with the returning characters retaining their richness and the new characters adding plenty, chief of whom is Mordaunt, a more than sufficiently evil successor to Milady.
The historical backdrop of a 17th century squabble between the French court and parliament allows for plenty of complications and conspiracies in the plot. I was quite ignorant to most of the history before the book - I wonder whether knowing it in advance would improve or worsen one's enjoyment of the novel?
