La belle Otero - The last great courtesan

I enjoy reading books and especially biographies.

This book came to me accidentally, I was gazing at a bookstore looking for something to buy and I found it.

I have to admit that I bought it out of curiosity mostly because I had never heard of this woman before and I am glad I dit because it turned out to be a very interesting.

Was she the prettiest courtesans of her era?

In my opinion, no.

In fact I do think she was that pretty at all, but to the standards of her era she was considered hot... go figure.

I believe that this was mostly because she was so bold and had a lot of nerve.

Anyway, back to the book I find that it illustrates wondefrully a period that people of today look from a romantic point of view.

It is worth reading because you can see the amazing story of a woman who did it all.

Was it worth it? This is a question that can have many different answers.
