I managed to find a large print edition at my local library, published in 1995. The books aren’t even available in ebook format. Golon, I heard you were supposedly working finishing the series, but as you died in the July of 2017, I guess that probably isn’t going to happen. The Angelique series went on for thirteen books, but only ten were translated into English, and it still wasn’t finished. And the more I learned about the series, it just seemed like a TV show that went on too long past the time it should have been cancelled. The series looked so long, and it didn’t seem to have any resolution. Even in the ‘80s, the books from the series always sat moldering on shelves in the used bookstores of my hometown, and they looked just like the exciting, bodice-ripping kitsch that I liked to read by the truckload, but something about them gave me pause. I have long heard about Angelique, your big romantic bestseller from 1957, when I was a little kid in the ‘80s.
