A fictional tale inspired by the life of Marie Antoinette presents the story of a teenage empress's daughter who is forced to leave her family home to marry the future king of France and who rebels against the formality and rigid protocol of court life.

Sena Jeter Naslund proves it's possible to write a wonderful historical novel, and still remain true to historical facts. And since it's a fictional acount the author also has the opportunity to speculate about the thoughts and emotions of the French queen in a way that hadn't been possible had it been non-fiction. And Sena Jeter Naslund does this in such a good way, bringing an extra dimension to the read.

If you want to read a good and convincing acount of the life of Marie Antoinette, this is what you should read!

This book is released to honour the memory of Marie Antoinette and it's off to Finland and Soozreader. Congratulations and happy reading :)
