![]() ![]() The book implies a relationship with some sexual elements between the queen and her friend/courtier Madame Gabrielle de Polignac, which Sidonie notices. Sidonie Laborde, a reader to Queen Marie Antoinette at the court in Versailles, loves her. The book, narrated in first person by the protagonist, did not make her as much a figure of mystery as did the film. I reviewed the film for my newspaper and, without my knowing much European history (sadly), I was moved by it to read the book and do a little other reading to fill in some of the gaps in my understanding. The book is translated quite well from French, originally, I think in 2002.
