Textbooks can be boring and depending on your history teacher, the history can potentially be made boring, too. But what I like is a well written, well researched recounting of historical figures to learn about who they were. I think I would be okay with the level of details. Marie Antoinette would be an interesting one to read about because the complexity of her story and the bad and completely untrue rap she received in her life (and ours...).

She's the reason why I find the French Revolution so fascinating (and a little heartbreaking too). Going to add this to my reading list for next year.

And the modern music *shudders* <br /><br />You must read the first two books! You'll really get to see her character progression then and understand <i>why</i> she developed the way she did.

I'm looking forward to reading this one now because I've never thought of Marie Antoinette as being a particularly sympathetic character. I've always thought she was a scapegoat for the Revolution and not the villain she was made out to be, but depth? Not really...Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.com
