Marie-Antoinette: The Making of a French Queen by John Hardman

informative reflective

3.5

Very informative and I did enjoy the read. I studied the French Revolution and culture intensely from 2014-2020, but somehow never came across this book. This book focuses on Marie-Antoinette and her involvement in French politics and the large role she began to play in it. You can tell a lot of research went into this, with records and letters from key players being explored. The only reason why I do not give it a higher rating is because there were some points where Hardman just would repeat what was already stated a few chapters before, and it did become repetitive. Overall, this is a book that I wish I had when completing my undergrad European classes as it is full of information and evidence.
