Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser

I am reading a biography of Marie Antoinette that Michael bought me for Christmas. It is a very good read and I am enjoying it. Marie Antoinette didn't have a chance. Life at Versailles was all pomp and circumstance, and no heed was paid to the real world outside the stifling gold walls of royalty. I recommend it. During this time of upheaval in my own life it is good to read a well researched book.
