Why read it?
1 author picked La Grande Therese as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book tells the story of Therese Humbert, swindler extraordinaire. There’s just something thrilling about a con artist fighting their way through life with nothing more than their own wits. I loved reading about Therese’s boldness and cleverness.
I felt I could live vicariously through her as she hustled her way into French society. Her fraud lasted for years, and I couldn’t help admiring her coolness under fire. Her story made for an exciting and incredible read.
From Annie's list on bygone women you'd want to avoid at all costs.
