Superb historical novel about the court of Marie-Antoinette in the 3 days following the storming of the Bastille.
On the 14 July 1789, Queen Marie Antoinette and her court spent a pleasant evening in the Great Hall of Versailles, completely unaware that the events of the next few hours will change their lives and their country forever.
Agathe-Sidonie Laborde is the Queen's reader and twenty-one years later, an exile in Vienna, she remains haunted by the chaos and fear of those final days at court. Hour by hour, Agathe watched the tragedy unfold as everything she held dear was overturned. In the midst of this chaos, the Queen remained an enigma, adored and reviled in equal measure by those to whom she now turned for help.
