Our Lady of the Potatoes
Our Lady of the Potatoes | Duncan Sprott
3 posts
'Our Lady of the Potatoes' is a brilliant re-examination of eighteenth-century France, seen through the eyes of Marie-Louise Murphy, an Irish adventuress who gets caught up in all the dramas of the age of enlightenment and revolution, becoming the mistress of Louis XV and narrowly escaping death at the hands of the revolutionaries in 1789. Part objet trouv, part recycled history, part grotesque variation on a fairy-tale, 'Our Lady of the Potatoes' is a highly entertaining and vivid novel, a tour de force of historical story-telling, which more than confirms this talented writer's great promise.

Thanks for the #TLT #ThreeLineThursday tag @dabbe
I did the survey earlier & thought I should post it before Thanksgiving Day is over here!

Here‘s 3 of my answers:

1. No one shall ever take my beloved potatoes away, so I‘ll therefore have to have turkey everyday (hopefully I can rotate the form/type).🥔🤎

2. I hate pumpkin pie so I don‘t care if the sugar is left out, & we‘ll keep the rolls unburned.🥐

3. I‘m all for any only sides meal!😋

DebinHawaii Go to @dabbe ‘s post to see the details & get the survey link! (Thanks for the holiday fun @Dabbe !) 🤗 2mo

LiseWorks How could anyone hate pumpkin pie 🥧. You haven't tasted mine! Fresh Pumpkin, not from the can. Real cream, not condensed milk. Maple syrup and less brown sugar. Lots of Dream Whip, not the can whip cream. You would taste the difference. 2mo

Frying potatoes and onions at 4:30am is probably one of the best non adult decisions I have made recently.

julesG Potatoes I get. Onions at 4:30 not so. 7y

The Little Free Library at Muriwai in New Zealand has a wide selection. I was tempted by Our Lady of the Potatoes. 🤔

Lacythebookworm Intriguing! 8y
Libby1 Our Lady of the Potatoes? Sounds Irish! 😃🍀 8y
Lindy @Libby1 @Lacythebookworm Indeed it is. An Irish adventuress has an affair with Louis XV in 18th c France. 8y
