by Alphonse Daudet
The attraction of this book for me was it's publisher, Vizetelly and Co in 1888. This was the famous publisher of Zola novels who was tried for publishing such obscene works as La Terre!
Sappho is full of melodrama and not a book to grip you. A story of a young aristocrat, Gaussin and his relationship with an aging prostitute. The ending is predictable but it moves along at a good pace and the numerous illustrations are fun. 5/10
