## Description

Set in the French and Spanish courts of the eighteenth century, this novel is based on a true story about the fate of two young princesses caught in the intrigues and secrets of the moment Philippe d’Orléans, the regent of France, has a gangrenous heart—the result of a life of debauchery, alcohol, power, and flattery. One morning in 1721, he decides to marry eleven-year-old Louis XV to the daughter of Philippe V of Spain, who is only four. Orléans hopes this will tie his kingdom to Spain. But were Louis to die without begetting an heir—the likeliness of which is greatly increased by having a child bride—Orléans himself would finally be king. Orléans tosses his own daughter into the bargain, the twelve-year-old Mlle de Montpensier, who will marry the Prince of Asturias, the heir to the Spanish throne. The Spanish court enthusiastically agrees and arrangements are made. The two nations trade their princesses in a grand ceremony in 1722, making bonds that should end the historical conflict. Nothing turns out as expected.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book on an obscure and fascinating topic
*by  on Reviewed in the United States November 20, 2019*

This is a fascinating book written by an author with a distinctive voice. She is French and only a few of her books have been translated into English. This is history about women's lives on a very personal level. If you love getting into the day to day, and avoiding dates and battles, give her a try. She also wrote an amazing book about Marie Antoinette.I have always been fascinated with Spanish nobility and it's hard to find anything readable that isn't about war etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐ A good read
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 19, 2017*

Loved the insight of what it was like from a child and adult view, children were really at a disadvantage, it was really sad actually. The end felt a bit rushed, but loved the story

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a great story, cleverly told!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States September 3, 2015*

I thought this book was fascinating. If you are looking for something a bit more sophisticated than books like the Other Boylin Girl but still quite engrossing, I would highly recommend. The attention to detail and adherence to historical fact made it much more interesting than those pseudo histories. I love the use of present tense. ..a really creative, bold choice. The author is witty and sarcastic, which was a real strength. (You do have to wonder about the obsession with hunting on the party of the royalty!) I would love to hear the author interviewed about liberties she took or did not take in order to tell this story. A really great read. The last series of books I read that were comparable were the three part Josephine series.
