Publisher's Summary
First published in 1848, Camille captivated Paris and has inspired countless adaptations. This classic story of love and loss is based on the author’s real-life affair with courtesan Marie Duplessis. Also known as The Lady of the Camellias, the novel follows the courtesan Marguerite Gautier through her tumultuous love affair with handsome—but middle class—Armand Duval. Before their passionate affair is over, one lover must give up everything.

"Better than Play, Opera, or Movie"
This is an amazing and beautiful book. I had read the play and seen the opera and the movie, and liked them all, but I was still surprised how much I liked this book. This was intense and captivating. The structure of the novel is wonderful, with the end at the beginning (which would have been too intense at the end) then transitioning narrator and the beginning of the story then culminating powerfully. It is quite rare that a novel gets me to cry, but this one sure did (even though I knew the story). Even if you didn't like the play, opera or movie, I would still recommend this wonderful novel. The narration is pretty close to perfect, with multiple actors doing a great job with the challenging and emotional characterizations.

"A fully emotional & captivating book"
What made the experience of listening to Camille the most enjoyable?The characters and society of the times were brought to life magnificently
What was one of the most memorable moments of Camille?When Marguerite's own voice explained through her letter her selfless actions and her personal suffering that no doubt caused her consequential decline and demise.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?All the narrators made the listener believe they were listening to the voice of the actual characters
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?The intensity and emotion of La Traviata brought to life in heart-wrenching detail
