''Drama, betrayal, religion and sex, it''s all here ... Fascinating'' GUARDIAN
''Beautifully paced, impeccably written ... Don''t miss it'' INDEPENDENT
''Fraser is at her best here, lucid, authoritative and compassionate'' SUNDAY TIMES
''Superbly researched ... the definitive work on the ill-fated queen'' CATHOLIC HERALD

Marie Antoinette''s dramatic life-story continues to arouse mixed emotions. To many people, she is still ''la reine méchante'', whose extravagance and frivolity helped to bring down the French monarchy; her indifference to popular suffering epitomised by the (apocryphal) words: ''let them eat cake''. Others are equally passionate in her defence: to them, she is a victim of misogyny.

Antonia Fraser examines her influence over the king, Louis XVI, the accusations and sexual slurs made against her, her patronage of the arts which enhanced French cultural life, her imprisonment, the death threats made against her, rumours of lesbian affairs, her trial (during which her young son was forced to testify to sexual abuse by his mother) and her eventual execution by guillotine in 1793.
