The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette by Carolly Erickson Book Summary

Imagine that, on the night before she is to die under the blade of the guillotine, Marie Antoinette leaves behind in her prison cell a diary telling the story of her life—from her privileged childhood as Austrian Archduchess to her years as glamorous mistress of Versailles to the heartbreak of imprisonment and humiliation during the French Revolution.

Carolly Erickson takes the reader deep into the psyche of France's doomed queen: her love affair with handsome Swedish diplomat Count Axel Fersen, who risked his life to save her; her fears on the terrifying night the Parisian mob broke into her palace bedroom intent on murdering her and her family; her harrowing attempted flight from France in disguise; her recapture and the grim months of harsh captivity; her agony when her beloved husband was guillotined and her young son was torn from her arms, never to be seen again.

Erickson brilliantly captures the queen's voice, her hopes, her dreads, and her suffering. We follow, mesmerized, as she reveals every detail of her remarkable, eventful life—from her teenage years when she began keeping a diary to her final days when she awaited her own bloody appointment with the guillotine.

Meh.. For the price, relatively disappointing. Entertaining enough, but while I understand the work of fiction aspect, KNOWN historical events could've been left in tact, if embellished by fantasy. It could've been done very well, such as Karleen Kohen with her historical romance novels of the same relative era. Alas, having just finished "Marie Antoinette: The Journey", made this a frustrating read.

Awesome. Definitely recommend to friends and family

Amazing. This is truly a fantastic book I wish it was longer I recommend it

Great, must read!. I had to read this for my book club. I was not excited! This book ended up being one of my all time favorites! This is a well written, well known story. You won't be disappointed!
