About
Details
“The Ganges Family” may have been a more apt title, as the Marquise’s story ends about two-thirds of the way through. The author states that he wanted to show how the family had been controversial for one reason or another for about a century, but only the unfortunate Marquise has had much “press”. I’d never heard of any of the Ganges before reading this short account.
