La Grande Therese: The Greatest Scandal of the Century
by Hilary Spurling
by Hilary Spurling
This is a very small book, can be read in couple of hours. It is little known story of a female shyster in late 1800's France who bilked people out of funds, reminding me of the Madoff scandal. She was poor and lied her way into living the high life among the rich and famous. Amazing story of how a whole family got involved, how duped people can be.
