Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser

4.0

9th grade: enchanted by the colors and sounds of the trailer for Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette film, I find myself highly interested in the Austrian-born French queen. I hear this book is one of the best, and used by Coppola herself, and getting all the fancy mentions. Plus, bonus, my library has it. So I take it out, lug it around, fondly nickname it the Big Ass Marie Antoinette Biography. And then I fall in love with Marie A, and talk about her constantly, and when the movie comes around I know all the details they leave out and bother my friend with them in the theater and cry at tragic parts that are glossed over.

I still have such a fondness for Marie Antoinette.
