Dumas is an author I've never read. But his work keeps getting mentioned in interesting contemporary novels, so I thought I should take the plunge. I listened to this book--from Audible--the narrator is very good and I keep running around the house exclaiming French names like, "Caderousse!"

A very, very, long tale of intrigue and revenge, it is a sort of 19th century soap opera. I love Balzac's novels; Dumas is not so dark, not so ponderous, also not so monumental a novel, but completely enjoyable. I was totally addicted to it and listened every moment I could.
