Lisolette’s story draws you in as a novel might. You are invested in her next letter as much as her correspondents must have been. Her integrity, courage, and spirit are inspiring, and I feel like I am constantly rereading things because I’m so in awe of her spunky attitude. I’m excited to keep reading about her journey as a widow and then mother to the Regent of France (parts 2 and 3.)

This book has humanized historical greats more than I knew a book could, and I think it’s the authenticity of reading such a prim and proper lady’s personal writing. The contrast between how we know of the courts from textbooks to what we know from first hand accounts is mind -boggling. It’s a very big book but I am almost halfway.

Liselotte is definitely a historical fave.
