In the days of the Musketeers, one woman manipulated events behind the scenes. No, not Marie de Medici, who I can never get over as being the mom from Gormenghast. But Marie de Rohan, a piece of work if there ever was one. Clever, witty, charming, and the kind of seductive that makes people wonder how they got talked into some unbelievable scheme, she was a remarkable woman. She was also bound and determined to keep the world as it once was: with her family and friends in power.
How well she succeeded, you must judge for yourself.
A short book that brings the eras of Louis XIII, la Fronde, and Louis XIV to life. Does anyone really like Anne of Austria? Well, you'll like her even less now. A fun read about the machinations of the upper classes, while France literally starved.
