Brian, the father, didn't want to marry, but he soon became attached to the baby too. The baby had a lot of health problems, but both parents were there for her, and they lived happily ever after without getting married.
A Passion for Paris: Romanticism and Romance in the City of Light
by David Downie
A trip to Paris (4/21/2015)
it is a travelogue and history combined. It mentions famous people including Victor Hugo, George Sand, Nadar, Balzac and their escapades. Also has photos which adds realism. It is about the literature, art, and music of the romantic age. My daughter took 3 years of French in high school and is very excited about reading this book.
