![]() | The Fatal Friendship: Marie Antoinette, Count Fersen and the Flight to Varennes by Stanley Loomis
Buy used from: $1.00 This book is hard to find since it is out of print, but it is my favorite biography of Marie Antoinette. The author's writing style is very fluid and he states the facts and lets the reader draw their own conclusions. The affair of the necklace is covered in great detail as well as Marie's imprisonment in the Conciergerie.
