It is unfair for a liberal society, worldwide, as ours is today, to condemn Marie Antoinette.  We would never judge her beginnings, as were so wonderfully pointed out in this book,  as harshly as history has  done.  This book gives us a glimps of the life which society raised Marie to see the world. She was much more than history led us to believe.  This should be recommended to all who enjoy personal historical fiction .  This is not an in-depth life portrayal of Marie but it is a great tale of her beginning to married Princess.  It is entertaining and easy reading  in the diary format.  It is slow in the beginning but draws you in.
