I recently read Jean Plaidy's novel "Madame du Barry", which I liked very much, which is why I decided to start this series as well.
Plaidy manages to write an entertaining and beautiful novel in her prelude to the "French Revolution" trilogy, which I really enjoyed. For one thing, her characterizations (especially of Louis and Madame de Pompadour) are sympathetic and tangible.
The drama and madness of the court of Versailles are fantastically portrayed!
