L'intrigue est très bien cousue , mon seul problème qui est due partiellement à ma mémoire éphémère , ce sont les long noms . J'ai pas pû progresser sans faire un peu de recul pour me rappeler des personnages. À part cela ,c'est un superbe livre qui maleheureusement n'a pas eu sa part de la renommer d'Alexandre Dumas .
En vrai il n’y avait pas de doute sur les 5 étoiles. Dumas ❤️
This is the second book of the Marie Antoinette series: it's a sequel of Joseph Balsamo.
This is a re-reading since I've read it without reading Joseph Balsamo first.

This book is based on Affair of the Diamond Necklace, an episode involving fraud and royal scandal that made headlines at the court of Louis XVI in the 1780s.
In addition to this Dumas' book, this affair was treated in fiction by some other authors, such as:
"The Queen's Necklace", by Maurice Leblanc (1905) (An Arsène Lupin Story);
The Queen's Necklace, by Antal Szerb (1943);
The Queen of Diamonds, by Jean Plaidy (1958).
