- Nataly von Eschstruth was the birth and pen name of Nataly von Knobelsdorff-Brenkenhoff. She was born in Hofgeismar, Hesse, Germany, to a military family and grew up in Hesse and then in Berlin, where she published her first writings at age 15.
In 1875, she attended a girls' boarding school for in Neuchâtel, Switzerland; later she went on a tour of European capitals. As a result of her mother's illness, she and her sister were responsible for running their household from 1885.
In 1890, she married Franz von Knobelsdorff-Brenkenhoff, an aristocratic Prussian army officer and son of a landowner. She and her husband had two children, and the family lived in various garrison towns. Her most prolific publishing period was the 1880s and 1890s. She wrote poetry, plays, and mult-generational novels, mostly aimed at women.

This one reads like a rip-off of Marlitt's Die zweite Frau: both have male protagonists with a French first name, in both there's an enamoured clergyman and a spite marriage.

The book is lavishly illustrated and most of the men sport moustaches modelled on Wilhelm II, which added to my inability to take them seriously. At times it felt like a puff piece for the Navy, on top of all the other objectionable stuff.
Something that strikes me most forcibly is her use of "wie" where today we use "als". I cannot imagine that a writer would make such a glaring mistake, so I assume this must have been standard speech a hundred years ago. Then again, I have never come across this in other books from the time.… (mere)
