There’s something for everyone: Romance, nerdy art history, a summer in Paris, and a slowly unraveling mystery . . . it’s a unique and inspiring story that manages to pull off something incredible.” a b c d e f g Douglass, Paul (October 2004). Lady Caroline Lamb: A Biography. Palgrave Macmillan, 354 pp. ISBN 1-4039-6605-2. The most moving chapter recounts the death of Fiennes's first wife and childhood sweetheart Ginny, who accompanied him on adventures and, in between, stoked the fires and raised an organic beef herd at their "dream home" on Exmoor. To an extent, the book is a hymn to her. "Without Ginny, there would be no point to my life," Fiennes writes early on, adding later: "I cannot believe that any human being has ever loved another as much as I loved and still love Ginny." A second wife, and late baby, are barely mentioned, and do not appear on the family tree at the end of the book. Paul Douglass (1999). "The madness of writing: Lady Caroline Lamb's Byronic identity".

I'm going to be honest: I went into this knowing next to nothing about it, so imagine my delight when I realized it was about a French-American Muslim girl set in Paris on an art history sleuthing mission mixed with poetry and philosophy. Like, this hit the nail on the head for what I like, and honestly, I was hooked. OMG! Isn’t it enchanting idea to read a book about two powerful women from different time lines who want to raise their voices and tell their stories! One of them is in Paris, searching for the deepest secrets hid behind a remarkable drawing with a charming French guy carries his descendant Alexandre Dumas’ name! And the other woman is a haseki, leaving behind the walls of Ottoman Harem, telling her secret love triangle story which resulted tragically! Stemming from that, I really liked the way the mystery unfolded in this story and the way it all came together at the end. I really liked how Samira Ahmed carried through the theme of erased and forgotten history over the course of the entire story. I thought it was really well-developed and explored thoroughly, especially through Leila and Khayyam's connection to each other. I also really appreciated the fact that it took place in Paris because the aesthetic? Unmatched.
