A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

At the age of fifteen, Marie Antoinette, beautiful and charming bride to the impotent Dauphin, is plunged into the intrigue of Versailles. Frivolous and reckless, she flouts the strict and demanding etiquette of the glittering court, and discovers the true nature of love, hate and jealousy.

But the clouds of revolution are overhead, and Marie Antoinette, who only wishes to enjoy life, learns too late that the price of her enjoyment is very high...

'One of our best historical novelists brings to life wayward, capricious Marie Antoinette' News Chronicle

'Flaunting, Extravagant Queen has the colour, liveliness, and sensitivity with which one has come to associate this author's historical novels' Scotsman

Revue de presse :

"Jean Plaidy doesn't just write the history, she makes it come alive." (Julia Moffat, RNA)

"This recaptures the colour and the lusty dishonesty of the French and English courts of the 16th century. Plaidy addicts will love it" (Evening Standard)

"These books are page-turners; they offer a wonderful way to learn about history, their heroines are smart, strong and in control of their destinies and their stories will remain with you for ever...They are a celebration of women's spirit throughout history." (Daily Express)

"Full-blooded, dramatic, exciting" (Observer)

"Outstanding" (Vanity Fair)
