Laurie M. (reading-galore) -
It was an absolute joy to read this engaging story about Giselle who works as a wardrobe lady for Marie Antoinette. The subtitle "A Novel of Marie Antoinette" is a bit misleading as the story's main character is Giselle not Marie Antoinette. This story also does not tell the entire life of Marie Antoinette at court. Instead it focuses on the French revolutionary days up to the end of her life, which I find to be the saddest part of her life. You will find yourself caught up in the French revolution as Giselle tries to walk the fine line between her court duties and her revolutionary feelings. I especially enjoyed the well-developed characters and the love story between Giselle and Leon. I thought this was a well written first novel by Meghan Masterson and hope to read more from her.
