The Irishwoman raised in France, who escaped the terror by fleeing to New York's Hudson Valley, only to follow her husband back to France and back to a life of heartache. The flipping from third to first person was slightly irritating as it was often done mid-scene. That is how my mind works when I'm writing, but this has proven to me why I must adjust and get back to a single POV. Overall her story, though beautifully told, was depressing. Such a sad life to commemorate. I hope she found peace in her end. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Acclaimed author Sheila Kohler's sweeping historical novel, Bluebird, or the Invention of Happiness, is based on the life of Lucy Dillon, an eighteenth-century French aristocrat. Wrenched from the court of Marie Antoinette by the Reign of Terror, the brave and resilient Lucy escapes with her family to the freedom and hardships of a newly independent America where, on a dairy farm in the Hudson Valley, she discovers a new life-and her true self.
