As an American I don't know a lot about Marie Antoinette or the French Revolution. I knew "let them eat cake" and that her head was cut off. I knew that there was a French Revolution. What little else I knew came from the Kirsten Dunst movie that came out in 2006. It stopped when the revolution started. "Confessions of Marie Antoinette: A Novel" by Juliet Grey picks up where Dunst leaves off. It follows the four years between the Versailles ransack and the execution. I had know idea how unhinged the revolution was. Those people completely lost it. It is quite an informative and interesting read. I highly recommend it. I received this book from www.abovethetreeline.com in exchange for an honest review.
