Camille by Alexandre Dumas fils, (#3, French Lit)

When I checked Camille out I was under the impression that it was by Alexandre Dumas, as in the author of The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers, but turns out it was actually by his son, hence the "fils" after his name (I don't know French!). Good to know.

Very Moulin Rouge-esque. I enjoyed it, but the main character, Armand--a man in love with a "kept" woman, drove me crazy when he continued to get jealous of her pimps. As Nicole Kidman says, "a girl has got to eat."

I have to find myself an old Duke. :)
