I enjoyed this novel of Marie Antoinette very much. She was a scape goat of the French Revolution but pretty removed from the lives of the poor as would be customary in her position. I have visited Versailles and remember very well the room where she publically gave birth.
The book was well written and the last chapters were especially poignant. This novel is a good way to learn some history.
