I enjoyed reading it in the first person. Marie Antoinette became a person who did and acted as she was trained to do and act. One wonders why she didn't mature as much as she could have to become aware of the Third Estates' needs, but she did not. As I was reading it, I kept humming songs from "Les Miz" and was thinking of how interesting it was to view the French Revolution from the aristocratic point of view.

French Tales
Abundance is a perfect title for this novel. It is narrated in first person as Marie Antoinette tells the story of her life beginning with her marriage to Louis, the dauphin of France to her death at the hands of a revolutionary mob. It relates with delicious detail the extravagance of her early life in France and the grittiness of her situation at the end. Was she responsible for her tragic death? Some people have taken exception that in this novel she accepts little responsibility for the problems of France, but I wonder how those people would see themselves in a similar situation. Nevertheless, this is a beautifully told tale of a woman and her life.

an abundance of misunderstandings
This novel, which is written in the first person by Marie Antoinette herself, is an excellent historical novel. Marie Antoinette's life was full of drama from the time she came to reign in France until her untimely death for crimes that were not her fault. This is a touching portrayal of the Queens marriage and children. I totally enjoyed it.
