The historical part rocks. But the rest of this Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette-era-ish novel doesn't hold up so well to rereading. The present-day narrative makes you go "Hunh? Every adult in Andi's life is mean, clueless or insane with grief?" Yeah, that can happen IRL, but add in that the guitar-playing prodigy is swept unwillingly off to Paris by her mean, old genome-sequencing genius Dad on a work trip where of course she (view spoiler) w/in, like half an hour.

Ya just gotta figure Donnelly had fun writing this one and roll with it.
