The book was written in a lyrical style that I do not usually care for, but I can understand why the author chose to use it. It did seem to capture the personality [of Marie Antoinette], & as much as Marie Antoinette loved the theatre it is only fitting that some chapters were written as skits/plays.
The last chapter "Hall of Mirrors" could have been eliminated in my opinion. But overall it was a good book, & a quick read

Once again, Kathryn Davis' version of the oft-told life of Marie Antoinette is clever and beautifully written. I'm just left wondering, why? I didn't feel that Davis' creative pyrotechnics added anything to my understanding of the (possibly more sinned against than sinning) Queen.
