Consuelo. A novel

Depth of characters is phenomenal. This maybe my favorite book by George Sand. Loved this story which grasped my complete attention and keen interest on every page. Delightful & insightful.

This book was the guiding compass in my teenage years - art, music,coming of age, love, honor, mystery. It is truly remarkable, gripping, mystical, deep, full of underlying human mythology. I think it will hold its grip on anyone regardless of age, however! Man or woman, child or older being. Enjoy, especially those who will travel its path for the first time! I am surprised there is no film based on this book yet - the characters are delicious, Caliostro alone (in a sequel, Countess of Rudolstadt). Probably just a matter of time - no film can do it justice though, but our imaginations can!

I read the novel in Russian. Never read in English, but looking forward to it. I think it is one of the best George Sand's novels. It is full of mysterious and exciting moments. I hope the book in English is as fabulous as in Russian.
