Why read it?
1 author picked The Sisters of Versailles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was intrigued by how quickly this one pulled me into the dynamics of this family of five sisters, each of whom conspired to become Louis XV’s mistress in the early 18th century. This book is the first in a trilogy called The Mistresses of Versailles.
Told from multiple points of view, the sisters’ relationships and their romantic intrigues were brought to life for me both through their narrations and through letters back and forth among them.
From Peggy's list on court life in pre-revolutionary France.
