A blissfully entertaining romp:
It’s 1666 and the brightest, wittiest salon is that of Celimene, a beautiful young widow so known for her satiric tongue, she’s being sued for it. Surrounded by shallow suitors, whom she lives off of without surrendering to, Celimene has managed to evade love since her beloved husband died—until today, when Frank appears. A traveler from England known for his own coruscating wit and acidic misanthropy, Frank turns Celimene’s world upside-down, taking on her suitors, matching her barb for barb, and teaching her how to live again.
