A fictionalized account of the life of Marie Antoinette, this
novel begins with Marie as a fourteen year old girl who marries the heir to the French throne. In rich detail, we follow her journey from a much-loved queen to her eventual death at the guillotine. I found this as equally engrossing as Naslund’s AHAB’S WIFE.
I loved Ahab’s Wife. I have this one (bought when it came out new in hardcover), but still have not gotten around to reading it. I am looking forward to it and I’m glad to hear you liked it.
