Summary

To this day Marie Antoinette remains one of history’s most misunderstood heroines. How she triumphed over the petty jealousies and backstairs rivalries of the court, how she sustained a good-hearted but malleable king, and how she was transformed from French queen to Austrian “whore,” is the story told with skill and fascinating detail.

Great Book about the ill-fated Queen!

One of the best books I’ve experienced about Marie Antoinette. A very detailed background and the narrator displayed an excellent performance.
