I can’t believe how slow this book was, it could’ve easily been half the length based on how descriptive it was. I did enjoy the historical time period, 18th century France is one of my favorite time periods to read about, but I do with that it was a little bit shorter.

Made me very sad about how women have been treated throughout history.

This was a pretty good book about Versailles during the reign of Louis XV and the French revolution. I liked the characters and this is the first novel I've read about Versailles (and I've read quite a few) that has a character's point of view while being a Deer Park girl. This is a good novel for people who like novels about Versailles and who are interested in Deer Park.
