Synopsis
Married for political reasons at the age of fourteen, Marie Antoinette was nave, impetuous, and ill equipped for the role in which history cast her. Through the chaos of an unhappy marriage and of the French Revolution that lead to her execution, her life was a tragedy of disastrous circumstances colliding. Evelyne Lever draws upon her diaries, letters, court records, and memoirs to paint a vivid portrait of Marie Antoinette, her inner circle, and the life of Versailles.
