The Lady and the Unicorn
Book Review by Tracey
Once again Ms. Chevalier has created a Historical tale overflowing with
details from the time period. The account is given through the words of
several characters, adding dimension to the story. Nicolas Des Innocents,
a painter, is the main character, but the other characters he interacts
with tell parts of the story from their own point of view.
We get to know all the characters well, and can sympathize with their
own personal dilemmas within the story.
The book is about a specific time period in Nicolas' life. It explores
the social attitudes of the times through the eyes of wealthy and poor,
male and female. A timeless tale revolving around the commission and creation
of a set of tapestries. It's definitely worth reading. Here's to good
historical fiction!
