There is a new novel coming out this week called "Mistress of the Revolution" by Catherine Delors. Marie-Antoinette is a character in the novel. Just from looking at the author's website, it looks very like Madame Delors has done extensive research, in order to come to an accurate portrayal of Marie-Antoinette and some of the other historical people. Her sources include Simone Bertiere and Chantal Thomas, which says a great deal for the high caliber of her research. I look forward to reading it.

Thank you, dear Therese. I'll order this book if it is available from alapage (the only site that doesn't use postal way ! )

It just looks like the author has done careful research, trying to create an accurate depiction of the era.

I too am looking forward to this one. I have had it on my wishlist waiting for it to be released! Will be ordering it very soon, in my next book order.

Isn't the cover nice?

Yes, lovely!

Yes, I love that painting too!

I can't remember but Madame Delors probably mentions it on her site.

It is Fragonard's "The Stolen Kiss."

Oh, thank you, it's really beautiful!
