I really enjoyed this book. Was great learning more about the sun king's mistress. I can only imagine living in that time and I would hope to be a maid in the royal household, if I had to be a maid anywhere. I did however, feel she ended the book abruptly, would have been nice to find out more of what happened to Louise one she left Princess Harriett's service. Sandra Gulland is fast becoming a favorite author of mine, if you love books about royalty you will enjoy this book.

This is one of the best stories I have read all year. I was throughly engrossed in the whole story. I liked the idea of having a hand-madien to help you get dressed and other things that seem to get in the way of just having fun.
Being a member of the Royal Court in the 1600's was no easy job. I can't believed how much they did without all the modern conveniences. I had such a good reaction to this story that I just have to assume that I was once a member of a Royal Court sometime in the past. LOL
I did not give this story 5 stars because it took me about half-way through before I had a reason to not put the book down and finish it in one sitting
