pickAn older woman returns to the French court after losing her husband. She ends up falling in love with the King's young son who becomes infatuated with her. The book follows their life together. I'll be honest, the story started slow for me. I was even initially disgusted by the difference in age between the main characters. However, the author slowly seduced me and by the end I was captivated. It was a story I raced to finish but was sad to end.
