Sade's Wife

This book is very good, although the author had to avoid interesting events from Marquis de Sade's by again and again explaining that this is a biography of his wife. Crosland sticks to her guns on this, and that is commendable, since Sade could so easily have eclipsed her. Overall its a decent book, and necessary reading for anyone interested in de Sade.
