Only a short way into this book and it is proving invaluable to my research for my book-in-progress for Simon & Schuster about these famous French lovers. I’ve learned how these letters were discovered and I’ve read all about the importance of letter writing in 12th century France, and I’m barely into the second chapter. I don’t want to do anything else with my time but read it! Sherry

I was told to read this five years ago and guess what? I should have. Highlyeccentric

I have this book but haven’t read *all* of it yet. There’s pretty good evidence (discussed in the book) that these letters actually represent letters that Heloise and Abelard exchanged during their love affair. The letters reveal especially Heloise’s erudition and gift for writing. James M. Madsen, M.D.
