'Marie Antoinette Romances, Vol 3: The Queen's Necklace' Summary
The third volume of Alexandre Dumas' Marie Antoinette Romances, "The Queen's Necklace," begins a decade after the events of "The Mesmerist's Victim." Based on a real scandal that rocked the court of Louis XVI, the novel weaves together a complex tale of intrigue, politics, and societal unrest. As Count Cogliostro's plot unfolds, he enlists the help of Jeanne de Valois, a member of a former royal house, who nurses a deep grudge against the monarchy. Amidst a growing popular movement for sociopolitical reform and a shrinking supply of bread, the monarchy faces a formidable challenge. Can the court overcome these obstacles and maintain its power? Or will the forces of revolution prove too strong? Dumas' captivating storytelling and rich historical detail bring this tumultuous period to life, offering a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the fragility of power.Book Details
