Stealing Athena Part II

I just finished Stealing Athena. I highly recommend it. It's a fascinating story, actually two stories. If I was Mary Elgin, I would have let her husband rot in prison in France! He was imprisoned (twice by Napoleon) primarily because Napoleon wanted all the Greek sculptures he'd stolen. Mary's husband was a spendthrift which wouldn't have been so bad if it was his money he was spending. Most of it was Mary's. She was an amazing woman. - Lisa (PS - Lisa is too - Tanya)
