Excerpt from Daughters of EveNaturally much that is reported about Ninon's childhood and early years is more or less legendary. But it is clear that her spiritual revolt began when she was very young. Her social position was fairly good. Her mother was timid, conservative, and pious, and was anxious to make the daughter more so, but her father was reckless, careless, dissipated, a lover of life and laughter and especially of song. It was easy to divine which of her parents Ninon's temperament would follow.The story goes that one day when she went with her mother to church and the priests were chanting the solemn passion music, the child burst out with the refrain of a popular love-song, Why Should we care if we die, When we die but to live again?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
