As the French Revolution rages, the sisters' bond is tested to its limits. Marie-Antoinette becomes a symbol of the old regime, while Louise Élisabeth aligns herself with the revolutionaries. Secrets are revealed, alliances are forged, and the fate of the monarchy hangs in the balance.
A Rich Tapestry of Characters
The Sister Queens introduces a cast of unforgettable characters:
* **Marie-Antoinette:** A tragic figure who is both adored and reviled. She is a fashion icon and a spendthrift, but she also possesses a deep love for her family and a fierce determination to survive. * **Louise Élisabeth:** A complex and enigmatic character. She is intelligent, compassionate, and deeply devoted to her sister. However, she is also torn between her loyalty to the monarchy and her desire for a more just society. * **Louis XVI:** Marie-Antoinette's gentle and indecisive husband. He is a well-intentioned ruler, but he is unable to control the forces that are tearing France apart. * **Maximilien Robespierre:** The radical leader of the French Revolution. He is a brilliant orator and a ruthless dictator, driven by a fanatical belief in his own righteousness.
A Vivid Portrayal of History
The Sister Queens is not only a compelling story but also a meticulously researched historical account. Perinot brings the 18th century to life with vivid descriptions of the royal court, the streets of Paris, and the battlefields of the Revolution.

A Thought-Provoking Exploration of Sisterhood
