Kathryn eventually finds a modicum of happiness, but not before the reader has been dragged through a long stretch of misery and heartache. Fortunately, the author has a pleasant style, and she dresses up what might have been a flat history lesson with a surfeit of grace and wit. For a reader interested in the social jousting of 18th century France, White Flowers of Yesterday will be a treat.
