""Marie Antoinette was a child of fourteen when her mother, the Empress of Austria, arranged for her to leave her family and her country to become the wife of the fifteen-year-old Dauphin, the future King of France. Coming of age in the most public of arenas--eager to be a good wife and strong queen--she warmly embraces her adopted nation and its citizens. She shows her new husband nothing but love and encouragement, though he repeatedly fails to consummate their marriage and in so doing is unable to give what she and the people of France desire most: a child and an heir to the throne. Deeply disappointed and isolated in her own intimate circle, and apart from the social life of the court, she allows herself to remain ignorant of the country's growing economic and political crises, even as poor harvests, bitter winters, war debts, and poverty precipitate rebellion and revenge. The young queen, once beloved by the common folk, becomes a target of scorn, cruelty, and hatred as she, the court's nobles, and the rest of the royal family are caught up in the nightmarish violence of a murderous time called "the Terror." With penetrating insight and with wondrous narrative skill, Sena Jeter Naslund offers an intimate, fresh, heartbreaking, and dramatic reimagining of this truly compelling woman that goes far beyond popular myth--and she makes a bygone time of tumultuous change as real to us as the one we are living in now."--Publisher's website."
"Los aires en la Europa de 1770 aún son tranquilos para la nobleza. Con apenas catorce años, María Antonieta deja su tierra y su familia para convertirse en la futura emperatriz de Francia. A pesar de su lógico nerviosismo y sus dudas, sus nuevos súbditos la reciben con afecto e ilusión y ella se adapta poco a poco a su nueva realidad. Pero una pena inmensa invade su corazón: los años pasan y su esposo, el futuro Luis XVI, evita la consumación del matrimonio. Luego, la muerte de su madre, sumada a la crueldad de las intrigas cortesanas, va alejando a la joven de sus buenas intenciones iniciales. Poco a poco la joven reina comienza a aislarse de los crecientes problemas sociales, lo que no la favorece para nada a los ojos de sus súbditos, y menos aún cuando las cosechas se pierden, el invierno recrudece y las deudas y el hambre incitan el deseo de venganza y rebelión. Toda la nobleza francesa se ve cada vez más atrapada por el espíritu revolucionario de una época que luego culminaría en el oscuro período llamado "el Terror". María Antonieta se convierte en objeto de odio y resentimiento para aquellos que alguna vez la quisieron. Y su vida, como la de todos aquellos nobles que no pudieron ver los nuevos caminos del pueblo, tendrá un implacable final.--Desde la descripción de la editorial."

"A fictional autobiography in which Marie Antoinette shares the story of her life, from her baptism, to the royal courts of France, to the guillotine."
""Like everyone, I am born naked." With this opening line of Naslund's compelling new novel, a very human Marie Antoinette invites readers to live her story as she herself experiences it. From the lush gardens of Versailles to the lights and gaiety of Paris, the verdant countryside of France, and finally the stark and terrifying isolation of a prison cell, the young queen's life is joyful, poignant, and harrowing by turns. As her world of unprecedented royal splendor crumbles, the charming Marie Antoinette matures into a heroine of inspiring stature, one whose nobility arises not from the circumstance of her birth but from her courageous spirit."@en

"A fictional tale of 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."
"Fourteen-year-old Marie Antoinette of Austria was sent to France to marry the fifteen-year-old Dauphin, the future King of France. She rejected the formality and rigid protocol of the court. She was an enchanting and tenderhearted outsider who was loved by her adopted homeland and people until she became the target of revolutionary cruelty and violence. She was a dethroned queen whose depth of character sustained her in even the worst of times."
