      The Red Lily is an old-fashioned French novel about the aristocracy (or in my opinion the lazy rich). They spend their days visiting: each other, museums, churches, popular natural sites, and shops. They also philosophize, gossip and rendezvous with their lovers. And many times somebody gets hurt. Anatole France uses dialog to describe the superficiality, the hypocrisy, the double-standard toward women, the awkward moments of this social group to make us see them clearly. I didn't understand the political components as much as I would have liked but then again politics have never been my strong suit. May I say this was a good read despite my NOT LIKING most of the characters? That speaks, of course, to the author's excellence.
