Alexandre Dumas 
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. –
