Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-10 00:00:00 Jesica Stepp Fascinating--but, alas, more fascinating as a study of the history and cultures through which the subject passed than for an honest look at the woman herself: she was a liar and showperson, a businessperson and a visual artist, someone two languages removed from her native tongue. Not a lot of truth in her own words has survived. That being said, it's a fascinating, detailed look that stretches from before the French Revolution to early Victorian Times--it always comes as a fun surprise to read about someone who makes a transition from one set of history books to another :) Like the best sort of time travel.
