  • "This volume is a biography of the Archduchess of Austria and the Queen of France Marie Antoinette (1755-1793). The author captures all the drama and pathos of Marie Antoinette's short life. Born in 1755, this carefree, fun-loving daughter of Austrian empress Maria Theresa inherited neither her mother's political shrewdness nor her sense of duty. She was married off at 14 to the stolid, clumsy French Dauphin, who would not fully consummate their marriage for another seven years, at which point he was King Louis XVI and their marital difficulties were the subject of public ridicule. She consoled herself by retreating to the artificial village she constructed at Trianon, where she could be free of the court etiquette she hated and indulge in expensive amusements that only increased her unpopularity. Her rare incursions into politics were just as ill judged; she alienated the French nobility with attempts to further Austria's diplomatic goals, and from the first rumblings of revolution in 1788, she influenced Louis to take a hard line on royal power when compromise might have saved the monarchy and prevented their executions in 1793."
  • "Le journal imaginaire de cette reine de France, reconstitué à partir de sources historiques, évoque l'atmosphère de Versailles, celle du Paris révolutionnaire et l'un des épisodes les plus tragiques et déterminants de l'Histoire de France."
  • "Une biographie sans concession qui éclaire la vie de Marie-Antoinette, depuis son enfance à Vienne jusqu'à son exécution sur la place de la Révolution. On participe aux heures brillantes de la cour de Versailles comme aux heures sombres de la Révolution."
  • "A biography of the French queen explores the intrigue surrounding her life, as well as the events leading up to her death."
