Default Marie Cavallier by John Lindskog

A book on Marie Cavallier's life prior to the wedding will be on sale from April 30th. Author is John Lindskog, and it will be published on People's Press. John Lindskog has previously been a journalist with Ekstra Bladet, Information, Billed-Bladet & Se og Hør, and published several books prior to this one.


Apparently the book also covers the divorce between Joachim and Alexandra.

Here is the cover of the new book Marie Cavallier: The French Princess by John Lindskog. The book is 220 pages long which is pretty standard. Apparently, body lotion comes with it if you are a Billed Bladet club member so I one will have soft skin whilst reading this new book. Hopefully, I will be able to get the book if it is published in French (which is a heck of a lot better than my Danish... obviously.)

I've managed to get through the book, and while it was an interesting read - however for anybody who has been reading Billedbladet, Se & Hør, or in any other way been following Marie and Joachim's relationship - it doesn't offer much new things about Marie or Joachim. I don't regret getting it, because it does give a nice overview of the process, which will be nice to have, but it doesn't bring much new things to the table.

I liked that the author did name his source inside the Palace from Joachim and Frederik's childhood/youth, though.

He could have spared himself with the chapter/list comparing Mary and Marie, though.

Interesting, thank you Norweiganne. I would like to somehow buy a copy of the book to add to my royal book collection even if the book is below average.

How big a readership would a book like this have in Denmark??? Is there anyway anyone could give me some idea???
I'm just curious because the only royalty books seen (as a general rule) in NZ are still Princess Di ones, with the occassional more generalised (British) RF one, or HM the Queen too I guess
