Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser

4.0

This was the first book I grabbed off the shelves during my visit to Shakespeare and Co. (Whoot!) As the kind of person who reads mainly fantasy and fiction, reading this dry non-fiction biography was slow going for me. But I learned a lot and I enjoyed learning it in the end. It's very thorough and balances this sympathetic eye opener view of Marie Antoinette with a neutral tone very well. Not recommended for those looking for a story on her life. But I do recommend it for those who want to know more about France's most famous (infamous?) queen.
