Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Manuring their fields," they called it, the improvident, money-hungry nobles of 18th century France, as they held their aristocratic noses and married their sons and daughters to members of a class they despised. A new roof for the chateau, shore up its crumbling walls? Seek out a wealthy bourgeois. The Marquis de Vau-Gency has married his oldest son to the daughter of a tax collector, and when a wealthy financier asks for Adele's hand? No matter that he is a man of whom, in the Marquise's words, 'one has heard everything and consequently knows nothing," the consent is willingly given. And how does Adele feel about this? Who cares? This is her story. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "I love him." The summer of 1789. France is wracked by violence and upheaveal. The deputies defy the King, the Bastille falls, chateaux are burnt and ravaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Charles Desmarrins is an 18th century Gatsby. The orphaned son of French peasants, he yearns for the power, prestige, and wealth symbolized by the magnificent and forbidding Chateau de Vau-Gency which rises above the village where he lives. Striving toward that goal, he finds something he didn't even know he wanted. Adele de Vau-Gency is a delicately pretty girl with a strong sense of noblesse oblige, a broken heart, and a pedigree that predates Charlemagne. When she meets Charles Desmarrins, the world-her world-is crumbling. This story of two people from disparate backgrounds is played out against the backdrop of that world-of France with its rigidly separate classes, of the salons, streets, and theatres of Paris, of the Palais-Royal (that forerunner of contemporary shopping malls), and the court at Versailles. No one personifies that glittering world more clearly than the Austrian princess who sat on the throne of France, without whom Thomas Jefferson said there would have been no revolution. Marie Antoinette was frivolous, fascinating and exasperating, a loyal friend, a dangerous enemy. Across the years she dazzles. This item is printed on demand.
