BairA high school English teacher I once had told us that there was an old literary tradition of the virtuous prostitute. La Dame aux Cameacute;lias falls into that category. Our heroine; Marguerite; is an upper-class courtesan; but she does redeem herself in the eyes of her lover; Armand; and of our unnamed narrator who hears Armands story. To say any more would amount to a spoiler; but the author is telling us that the love is genuinemdash;we can tell that by her actions. As in any love story; there are a number of misunderstandings that need to be worked out. At the same time; hearing the tale from Armands somewhat naive perspective; we find the description of his young love very appealing. This does not have the lively action that the novels of Alexandre Dumas; pegrave;re; would have; but it is a kind of drawing-room novel with plenty of psychology and questions that need to be answered.The story begins with Marguerites estate sale; so it is no spoiler to say that she dies in the course of the story; but this is no more a tragedy than Cyrano de Bergerac. This reviewer did read the book in French; but like Les Miseacute;rables; the English translations usually have kept the French title.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy LaurenEnjoyable enough of a book; but it requires some concentration if you are naturally English-speaking.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Love this book.By Megan MullinsThis is such a good book. I love it and would read it again and again. It is about the most famous French courtesan of the 1800s falling in love with a man who cannot afford her and the relationship between the two. He gets jealous; she has to work; she feels guilty for ruining him and makes him leave her. She dies of tuberculosis; the most romantic disease of the time. Its a beautiful romantic story. Definitely recommend. Suitable for students of the 300 level of college French.
