A Favour for Marie Antoinette is the first novel in a series set amidst the turmoil of the French Revolution. This volume is set in 1789, a year that bridges both the Ancien Regime and the onset of the Revolution, which started in July of that year. The real and terrifying threat of starvation, together with the complex political and economic issues of the time form the backdrop to the pampered life of Sophie, Comtesse de Boise. She leads a perfect life. She is rich, beautiful, happily married and enjoys her work as Reader to the Queen, whom she admires and likes. After Marie Antoinette asks her to go to the Convent of Sainte Marie des Champs Celestes as a favour, Sophie's life starts to unravel. She investigates the history of a mysterious girl who lived at the Convent and discovers some unpleasant truths about her own family and about life under the current King's predecessor. As her investigations continue and her world starts to crumble, the Revolution begins and she is caught up in the events that eventually lead to the removal of the Royal family to Paris and their semi-imprisonment in the Tuileries. A Favour for Marie Antoinette is full of authentic historical detail and is the culmination of years of research into eye-witness accounts of the Revolution."
