Description
A tale of passion and privilege spans generations, as one woman's determination to give her daughter a better life sets off a chain of events that will affect four royal women. Born in a small village in 1664, Marguerite is the result of a chance encounter between a peasant fan-maker and a nobleman, who makes a promise to return for her in seventeen years. As fate would have it, Marguerite's life takes a dramatic turn when she becomes part of the royal court of King Louis XIV. However, her fairy-tale existence is short-lived, as a change in political winds tears her world apart. Her daughter Jasmin inherits a life of privilege, but also faces temptation and danger. The story continues through generations, with each woman's choices and actions shaping the course of history. Through the lives of four royal women, this epic novel explores the complexities of love, loyalty, and power in 17th-century France, leading up to the tumultuous events of the French Revolution.
