This enthralling confection of a novel, the first in a new
trilogy, follows the transformation of a coddled Austrian
archduchess into the reckless, powerful, beautiful queen
Marie Antoinette.
Why must it be me? I wondered. When I am so clearly
inadequate to my destiny?
Raised alongside her numerous brothers and sisters by the
formidable empress of Austria, ten-year-old Maria Antonia
knew that her idyllic existence would one day be sacrificed
to her mother’s political ambitions. What she never
anticipated was that the day in question would come so soon.
Before she can journey from sunlit picnics with her sisters
in Vienna to the glitter, glamour, and gossip of Versailles,
Antonia must change everything about herself in order to be
accepted as dauphine of France and the wife of the awkward
teenage boy who will one day be Louis XVI. Yet nothing can
prepare her for the ingenuity and influence it will take to
become queen.
Filled with smart history, treacherous rivalries, lavish
clothes, and sparkling jewels, Becoming Marie Antoinette
will utterly captivate fiction and history lovers alike.
