Marie Antoinette gets a bad rap😛This was such a DEEP DIVE… 16 hours and MA doesn‘t even become Queen. I should have paid more attention to the title 😉This book only covers the years 1760- 1774. The book would have been wonderful if the author slimmed it down by about 250 pages. The plus….I feel very well informed for my upcoming visit to Versailles in November 🤓👇🏼

I‘m looking forward to my September #TitlesAndTunes book -
Who besides Marie Antoinette could be a BIGGER #DramaQueen???
And my songs speak for themselves 😜😉

This is the first in a trilogy, so we only get as far into Marie Antoinette‘s life as Louis XV dying and she and her husband succeeding to the throne when they are 18-years old. I did like how she was portrayed in this novel, and I appreciated the author‘s note at the end, which explains that the majority of people and events in the book did happen. I am really looking forward to reading the next book.

I'm such a sucker for books with royalty in them. If the story takes place in a castle, has a King, Queen, Prince or Princess I'm going to read it. Reading books that breathes life into past history, that can weave vivid details in war, ambition, love, and heartache, that's my kind of book.
