Synopsis
Born Lucie Dillon, to a half-French mother and an Anglo-Irish father, her world was Versailles and the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Mixing politics and court intrigue, this title paints a portrait of an era that saw the fortunes of France, as well as those of Lucie herself, rise and fall and rise again.
