LOVE and LOUIS XIV
Eminently readable. Fraser argues convincingly. [She] makes the romances and scandals of the seventeenth century seem as lively as the latest gossip.
Los Angeles Times
A sort of prequel [to Marie Antoinette]. What makes Fraser's book so compelling is her psychologically astute insights into what motivated these historical figures.
USA Today
Fluent and energetic. Immensely readable.
The Times Literary Supplement (London)
Simply radiant. Luscious. Fraser takes just the right tone in her book: skeptical but still awed.
Pioneer Press (St. Paul)
Fraser's best history so far.
The Guardian (London)
Refreshing Antonia Fraser long ago mastered the art of writing meticulous history so that it reads like an engrossing novel, and her latest offering is no exception.
The Times (London)
