The War of Women I

If you enjoyed the jolly romp, ‘The Three Musketeers,’ then ‘The War of Women I’ is sure to tickle your literary fancy.

Set in 17th century France, the plot of this tale is played out against the backdrop of the war between France and Spain. However, the war in question is not between the two countries.

Instead, it is between two women, Nanon de Lartigues and Viscountess de Cambes, who have both fallen in love with the Baron de Canolles.

Given that each is on a different political side, which one will he choose?

Full of swashbuckling swagger, double identities, betrayal, and vengeful villains, the plot twists and turns at a rate of knots.

´The War of Women I´ is a rollicking story, packed with historical detail and intrigue.

Alexandre Dumas (1802 – 1870) was one of the most popular French authors and playwrights of the 19th Century. After the death of his father, Dumas travelled to Paris where he eventually decided to work in the theatre. He first came to public attention at the age of 27 with his first play, ‘King Henry III and his Courts.’

After a succession of successful stage plays, Dumas turned his hand to writing novels. Many of these were serialised in newspapers, such as ‘La Comtesse de Salisbury; Édouard III,’ and ‘Le Capitaine Paul.’

Many of Dumas’ later works have been hailed as timeless classics and adapted for television and the silver screen, such as ‘The Three Musketeers’, starring ‘Lord of the Rings’´ Orlando Bloom, and ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, starring ‘Superman’ star, Henry Cavill.
