There is a wonderful book about Marie Antoinette that I would like to recommend. I don't usually read historical fiction, but this one is very accurate and the author's prose is simply gorgeous, and quite literally, breath-taking at some points. It is called, "Abundance" by Sena Jeter Naslund. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Marie Antoinette.

The biography of Louis XVI by Jean-Christian Petitfils is very well documented but I don't know if this book is published in English.

What 3 books did Jean write on Catherine? I always thought she wrote English fiction, but after reading her English books I would like to read what she has to say on Catherine. Has anyone read The Confessions of Catherine de Medici.

It's a manga but it features King Louis XV at Versailles and Queen Marie and the duc d' Orleans and it's become an anime as well, has anyone heard of "le chevalier d'eon" ?
