Title: Engaging
Review: I have to say that I watched the movie before picking up the book but the portrayal of the Duchess in the film was but a taste of what you get from reading the book.She lead such a interesting and complicated life that it definitely would have been difficult in choosing what to add/exclude from the feature film.The book was very politically heavy and even though it didn't really detract from the story,some of the passages tended to be long winded and a little dry.There was almost too much detail in some of the explanations about political parties and relationships and how they worked.I myself was more captivated by the passages that highlighted her personal home life such as the birth of her children and relationships with her immediate family/friends/husband.I also found the added personal correspondence of the Duchess to the various people to be an insight into who she was as a person and an added bonus to the narrative.Overall an interesting and recommended read!
