A New Translation From the Memoirs of the Comtesse de Boigne
So interesting to get a first person account from inside the gilded cage
Right? That's why I love these memoirs.
It’s a tumultuous read.
What a quick and solid lesson, in how not to be in the way, when tragedy is afoot, and sorrow is already a guest.
What a thrilling and can’t-put-it-down first person account of those pivotal days in French history. Seen from the eyes of a child!
Thanks for reading. That's exactly how I felt when I first read it. That's also why I decided to carry on with this translation well into the 1790s even though for the purposes of this blog I don't normally go past 6 October, 1789.
