"In this book, written in the first person, the author has captured the breath and essence of Ninon's inner experiences, performing a feat reminiscent of John Erskine's masterpiece, The Private Life of Helen of Troy. Born in Paris in the 17th century, Ninon became the femme celebre of France's most colorful century. It was the time of Richelieu and Queen Anne, and of Louis XIV who built Versailles; of the flowering of French letters through the genius of Racine, LaFontaine and Moliere, all of whom were Ninon's intimate friends and admirers... Against the colorful background of a raucous and brilliant century, Mr. Estey has recreated a great and unusual woman." -
