Love and Louis XIV: The Women in the Life of the Sun King by Antonia Fraser
3.0
The first part of this book I didn't find really compelling. Having read a biography of Louis XIV himself there was nothing new or more detailed about his relationship with the women around him. The second part I enjoyed much more. A. Fraser describes the difficulties of managing a big family and all the problematic of succession, the need of the now old king to be amused, the changing court around him and so on.
An interesting read.
