For historic fiction lovers
As a lover of historic fiction, I believed this was a very nice learn, The story transports you to the eighteenth century and offers you a seat on the tables of the Kings and Queens of Austria, Naples, and France. The lives and loves of robust girls spill onto the pages and immerse the reader into a special time and place. I might extremely suggest this e-book to readers who get pleasure from something royal or who’re on the lookout for an escape.

Fascinating story of a forgotten queen
What an interesting story of a robust, proud and wonderful queen forgotten by historical past! Studying this e-book throughout Girls’s Historical past Month was a bonus too. As Queen of the Two Sicilies, daughter of the Empress Maria Theresa and sister to Marie Antoinette, Maria Carolina Charlotte is dropped at life on this novel. Using letters between Charlotte and Antoinette in addition to Maria Theresa and brothers, Joseph and Leopold, provides delightfully to the story line. We’re handled to the life an distinctive lady who took over and lead a kingdom within the absence of her husband (who was by no means ready for kingship), all within the curiosity of caring for its folks. Within the Afterword, we study of Charlotte’s fierce makes an attempt to hunt her sister’s escape from France. And as with many robust girls in historical past in a time when girls weren’t seen as very succesful, we study that she was not given credit score for most of the issues that improved her nation. It is a superbly written and splendidly informed story that brings again to life a forgotten queen worthy of remembering.
