Interpretation To Books The Queen's Confession

Another sixth grade memory. Really got me in to European history and the truth (as truthful as we actually receive history) of it all. The fact that it is written in first person really made it real for me, at 12...

This book also reminds me of our librarian at school. She recommended this book to me and I remember telling her it was a bit too much. She looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Darling, you read it one word at a time. Look up the words you don't know. And keep reading." She was great. What the heck was her name??

Judgment Based On Books The Queen's Confession

As a child I remember my sister loving Jean Plaidy and historical fiction. Well, Victoria Holt, is another pen name for the same author. I love history and do enjoy this genre, as long as it is well written. Holt has done fastidious homework and while much of the intimate detail is fictionalized, Marie Antoinette and the circumstances of the French Revolution are drawn in great detail, from the historical events down to fantastic three-foot high hairstyles and her love of beautiful gowns to the

This book is unlike any of Victoria Holt's books I have read in that it is a historical fiction/autobiography of Marie Antoinette written as if she were writing it. It tells the story of the royal 14 year old who was promised to the future king of France, their glorious years of splendor as king and queen of France, and the untimely ending of both the king and queen during the Terror in France. She lists sources at the end of the book that she used so it was well researched. I enjoyed the book

One of the reasons I liked the book so much is because it told a lot more than I ever knew about Yolande de Polastron, the Countess of Jules de Polignac. I am interested in her because she is an ancestress of mine. I had not realized how badly her friendship with Marie Antoinette was distorted by the common people of France.

Fantastic. This is an outstanding author; I've never been disappointed.

This novel, by Victoia Holt had me at page one! I was greatly intrigued reading the story of Marie Antionette and her journey from adolescence, and a life in Austria, to her sad, and tragic demise under the guillotine, as France's Queen. Based on historical information, such as letters written by Marie Antionette and her closest allies, Holt tells this story in ways that reveal the horrors of the Reign of Terror, that eventually replaced the Age of Reason, in France's history. Enjoy this

I feel that I've learned a lot about the French revolution and Marie Antoinette . It took me a long time to get through but I wouldn't say that is because it was boring. It takes more brain power, more focus than other reads. Weather or not this book portrayed Marie accurately or not, its still a good reminder not to judge someone on what you read about them in history. Marie made mistakes, but everyone has flaws and hers were magnified by ten. Its sad she would have been suited it seems for a

I had tears in my eyes when I got to the end. What a masterful work of fiction by Victoria Holt. Marie Antoinette was frivolous and made terrible decisions but she, nor her family deserved the ending they received.
