	Amazon.ca: The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch: Books: Anne Enright
		Ostracized by her lover's family, indeed by all of the local society, Eliza survives in a grand manner and becomes both greatly admired for her kindness and reviled for what is presumed to be her political sway.
		Eliza Lynch met Francisco Solano López in Paris, when she was nineteen and he was in Europe to recruit engineers for the first railroad in South America.
		By then Eliza was notorious-as both the angel of the battlefield, inspiring the troops, and the demon driving López's ambition-and when López was killed in battle, she buried him in a shallow grave dug with her own hands.

		A century after leaving the wreckage of Paraguay, Lynch was proclaimed its national heroine - "surpassed by none in her courage, her self-lessness, and her loyalty" - and her body removed from its plot in the Parisian graveyard where she lay and returned, in a bronze urn wrapped in the tricolour, to her adopted country.
		Eliza sailed to Paraguay, bore López five children (although he never married her) and was widely considered to have encouraged him into the War of Triple Alliance (1864-70) in which Paraguay lost most of its male population and a chunk of its national territory to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
		Lynch was, he says, “largely responsible for the deaths of three-quarters of the population of the country, stealing much of its money and losing a valuable part of its territory”.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Pleasure of Eliza Lynch, by Anne Enright, Hardcover
		Reviled by Asuncion society and her lover's family, Eliza built herself a fine house, constructed a national theater for Paraguay, and had her son baptized although he was a bastard.
		Eliza, age 19, was in Paris, a ''tart from County Cork'' officially employing herself as a language teacher, when she met the stubby-legged and startlingly wealthy Francisco Solano Lopez, the son and heir to the dictator of Paraguay.
		The story loosely re-creates the life of Eliza Lynch, an Irish prostitute who escaped social disgrace by attaching herself to Francisco Solano Lopez, future dictator of Paraguay, and traveling with him to his homeland as his paramour.

	Article-The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch- A Novel
		One of these was "The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch." Her sometime protagonist, Eliza Lynch, a "fallen" woman who knows a good thing when she sees it, falls stone in love with a customer slated to become the next ruler of Paraguay.
		The author of this novel, Anne Enright, seems to have her history right: Lynch met the Paraguayan dictator Lopez in Paris and became pregnant by him before returning with him to Paraguay.
		The story, still sticking to history, ends with Lynch, having survived Lopez, Paraguay and the war, now in the UK and seeking damages against one of the few Europeans, a Scottish doctor named Stewart, who had remained loyal to her and her husband.

		Eliza, age 19, was in Paris, a ''tart from County Cork'' officially employing herself as a language teacher, when she met the stubby-legged and startlingly wealthy Francisco Solano López, the son and heir to the dictator of Paraguay.
		Eliza's biographers -- there have been two in Britain just in the past few months -- credit López with having had great schemes to modernize the backward country, in which his mistress, already pregnant, arrived in 1854.
		Eliza, who watched her son die before she buried López's body in a jungle grave, forfeited the lands and jewels she had craftily accrued.

		The novelist departs from history when she resists the view that Eliza, who was more intellectually gifted than her husband, was behind the disastrous strategy to wage a war that bled the country of its human and natural resources.
		Lynch is a smart, ambitious woman who has no outlet for her talents and is forced to depend on her ability to control men for her livelihood and grasp of power.
		"The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch" is a colorful portrait of this kind of amoral life force, a deft combination of battle-of-the-sexes and culture clash that has Paraguay for its exotic backdrop and Eliza as its buccaneering subject.

	Review: The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch by Anne Enright \| By genre \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Attended on board by red-haired Dr Stewart and her maid Francine, Eliza struggles to survive the boredom, the sickness and strange appetitive quirks of pregnancy.
		Finally, though, Eliza arrives and settles in Paraguay where, always liberal with her sexual favours, she is detested by the women and adored by the men.
		The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch is first and foremost a performance piece, the (deservedly) winning essay by the most promising pupil in the school.

		Over one hundred years later, her body was exhumed and brought to Paraguay where the dictator General she was proclaimed a national heroine.
		Due to the melodramatic appeal of her story, many fictionalized accounts of her life were written at the time and up to the present day, but the historical record is somewhat ignored and liberties are taken to maximize dramatic effect.
		See also The Shadows of Eliza Lynch by Sian Rees (Headline Review (6 Jan 2003)) and The Empress of South America by Nigel Cawthorne (William Heinemann, London 2003) both of which have their strengths and weaknesses.

		Enright produces a more nuanced cause--deprivation--that she buries in such a wealth of virtuoso imagery that it is not immediately apparent....Born from hunger, Enright's Eliza needs to surround herself with luxury....She has suffered, and the world must pay for it.

		An historical epic, this novel is based on the true story of the beautiful Irishwoman Eliza Lynch, who, in the 1860's, became, briefly, the richest woman in the world.
		Joining the rising tide of modern authors who choose to do "faction", a literary look at a historical person, we are given the story of Irish girl Eliza Lynch who journeys from Mallow to the Continent where she learns the life of a mid-19th century lady.
		Eliza's voice is heard too along with a never-trustworthy third-person narrator who flits from head to head recording the awe and pity of a rise and fall from grace.

	REVIEWS IN BRIEF / The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Some of her story gets recollected from the perspective of the surgeon general to Lopez's army, and Eliza becomes the source of national gossip but also of myth.
		She said it tasted just like pork, but gamier, like the truffle-hunting boars you get in Auvergne." But in the end, "The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch" reads as if it were stitched together from the passages Isabel Allende was smart enough (or too embarrassed by) to include in a novel.
		The reader remains outside, a mere voyeur, instead of achieving emotional engagement with Eliza's life, her eventual liberty or, most importantly, her pursuit of happiness.

		Enright's writing has matured from flashy showiness to cool sharpness; see for example the second chapter at Eliza's evocative impressions as she voyages up the Parnana; or the witty epilogue which both brings the novel both to a conclusion and begs further investigation.

	The Shadows of Eliza Lynch by Siân Rees - R.J. Stove - Quadrant Magazine
		But the prize for the most overtly dadaist chapter in Paraguay’s politics, for the biggest, shiniest moonbeam from the larger Paraguayan lunacy, must go to the 1862 – 70 petticoat government of Eliza Lynch, who briefly held the title of the world’s richest woman.
		Born amid profound obscurity (in 1835 or perhaps 1831), Eliza married a French doctor based in Algeria with the splendiferous name of Xavier de Quatrefages, but soon fled his chloroform-scented embraces for the more interesting, if less salubrious, life of a courtesan.
		Madame Lynch also came into her own: Asunción theatres now resounded to the lines of Molière, and she acquired the first two sewing-machines in Paraguayan history.
