Despised or pitied?

Fifteen years before the arrival of the new dauphine of France, on the 2nd of November 1770, the city of Lisbon woke to a devastating earthquake, in which some thirty thousand lives perished. On the very same day, All Souls’ Day, far from the terrible disaster, Marie Antoinette was born in the gay city of Vienna.

James Tivendale Hey Will,

Thank you for adding me.

I have had a quick browse through the summaries of your books and they seem really interesting. I have been recently researching Lafayette and I know he was a character present around Marie Antoinette's and Louis the XVI's era. Which of your books would you recommend me checking out first?

If you would like me to review any of your books then by all means message me and we can sort something out.

I hope you are having a good day.

James x
