Forget-Me-Not

Forget-Me-Not by Marjorie Bowen is a story about a woman born into poverty who must rise above her circumstances to become a cunning and thriving noblewoman. Excerpt: "This novel is based on a fact—that of a crime so incredible that it caused amazement equal to the horror it inspired; the public sentiment aroused by this atrocity went far to provoke the sudden French Revolution of 1848. The author is responsible for everything in the novel save this central fact, and for the details of the life of the period, which are largely taken from contemporary newspapers."
