I was plesently surprised by this book. I know little about this time of French history and now want to figure out which was fact and which was fiction (as often is the case with historical fiction!).

It's told in a diary form by Marie from when she is a child in Austria to when she is beheaded as Queen of France.

I don't know if the aim was to give Marie Antinette a more human/sympathetic character or if this is how she actually was, becuase the book did this very well.

A side note is though it gives you a look at the rich by inheritance vs. the poor, which although was the reason for many of these revolutions, it is still prevelant today.
