About this audiobook

To this day Marie Antoinette remains one of history's most misunderstood heroines. How she triumphed over the petty jealousies and backstairs rivalries of the court, how she sustained a good-hearted but malleable king, and how she was transformed from French queen to Austrian "whore," is the story told with skill and fascinating detail.

    Erickson's biography reads like a novel, full of descriptions of people and palaces, and political and social motivations. Though she doesn't analyze the politics in depth, there's enough background to have a basic understanding of the events that led to Marie's execution. A good, readable starter biography, and good for young adults too.
