For more than two centuries Marie Antoinette has been vilified as the heartless, frivolous queen who spent lavishly while her people starved. Now, in the tradition of The Birth of Venus and The Other Boleyn Girl, this moving new novel tells her side of the story. Imagine that, on the night before she is to die under the blade of the guillotine, Marie Antoinette leaves behind in her prison cell a diary telling the story of her lifeâ??from her privileged childhood as Austrian Archduchess to her years as glamorous mistress of Versailles to the heartbreak of imprisonment and humiliation during the French Revolution. Carolly Erickson takes us deep into the psyche of France's doomed queen: her love affair with handsome Swedish diplomat Count Axel Fersen, who risked his life to save her on the terrifying night the Parisian mob broke into her palace bedroom intent on murdering her and her family; her harrowing flight from France in disguise, her recapture and the grim months of harsh captivity; her agony when her beloved husband was guillotined and her beloved son was torn from her arms, never to be seen again. Erickson brilliantly captures the queen's voice, her hopes, her dreads, her suffering. We follow, mesmerized, as she reveals every detail of her remarkable, eventful life, from her teenage years when she began keeping a diary to her final days when she awaited her own bloody appointment with the guillotine.… (mehr)

Y si la noche anterior a su muerte en la guillotina María Antonieta hubiera dejado en su celda de la cárcel un diario en el que contara su vida? Su privilegiada infancia como archiduquesa austriaca, los lujosos años de gran dama de Versalles y los meses de condena durante la Revolución francesa ya no serían uno de los secretos mejor guardados de todos los tiempos.
Carolly Erickson deja hablar por sí misma a una de las mujeres más calumniadas de la Historia: el miedo en la aterradora noche en que la muchedumbre parisina irrumpió en el dormitorio de palacio con la intención de asesinarla junto al resto de su familia; el angustioso intento de huir de Francia disfrazada; la captura y los lúgubres meses de dura cautividad; y su sufrimiento cuando su esposo fue guillotinado y su hijo arrancado de sus brazos para siempre.

It was just okay for me. It was very easy reading - read it in one day! Nothing that I didn't know and although it is historical fiction - "hearing" it in her own words didn't engage me any further. Marie had a tough situation as Louis XVI should never have been King - he didn't want to be. She was forced to make decisions she wasn't educated to do. Additionally, she was spoiled and bored and they all spent money they didn't have. I still admire her and her inner strength that she had to rely on at the end but as far as the book went - was just "meh" for me. ( )

I could not get past page 70 on this one. No depth, though I suppose portraying Marie Antoinette as a silly teenager when indeed that is what she is makes sense. However, if you want to read about a young princess having to deal with a dysfunctional royal court, I suggest you read A Royal Affair instead. ( )

This book was pretty good. I have not read much about Marie Antoinette, though I did see the movie the recent movie and liked it.
This book is told from Marie's pov, which is nice. She is kind of naive, silly, but innocent. Her husband Louis is portrayed as mentally deficient-not in terms of learning but he seems to suffer from an ability to relate to others-perhaps high functioning autism?
The novel does cover a long standing sexual relationship with a swedish captain. I do not know how historically accurate it was, the novel has him advocating for her when she was in the tower.
The pacing was good and the action moved right along. I could not really identify with MA but I did feel kind of sorry for her. ( )

An enjoyable, if fluffy, account of Marie Antoinette's life if she had kept a diary. But why wasn't this fictional ever discovered in all the searches and seizings of her property? Oh well, guess that's why it's "historical entertainment". Oh, and be warned, there's a fairly high gore factor. ( )
