by Juliet Grey
I was set to give this book three stars. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. I reduced my rating to 2.5 stars because there were a few things that really bugged me.My biggest issue I had was with the language in the book. I don't know if this was an issue with the Kindle version or if this is a ...
This was very well done. You see a child forced into an adult role while at least two nations watch the metamorphosis. Not sure who she can trust, since all her personal retainers, even her pug, Mops, are taken away from her, before she can even enter her new country. The one person she has to have ...

Starting with her childhood, Grey introduces us to the pretty, jubilant young girl who is sacrificed to her mother's political ai...
I received my copy of Becoming Marie Antoinette by Juliet Grey through goodreads First Reads giveaways (thank you!) and I really enjoyed it.

Chronicling her all-too-short ...
