Title: Flabbergasted!
Review: I didn't expect "literature" from Carolly Erickson, or even historical accuracy (I have read her dismal "biography" of Alexandra of Russia) but even as light "romantic fiction" this book falls far short.I assume the author made up this salacious story after she had a bit too much to drink and tacked Marie Antoinette's name onto her central character. This does NOT make the novel about Marie Antoinette. I echo an earlier reviewer, it's a travesty. How on earth did this get published?I recommend Chantal Thomas's "Farewell, My Queen" and am looking avidly forward to the publication of Sena Jeter Naslund's "Abundance". Such a fascinating subject deserves a writer equal to the task.
