When Madame D'Epinay leaves her convent to live among the courtiers of Louis XV, she knows nothing of the intrigues and power plays of court life. She is content to devote her time to helping the less fortunate. But when she is offered a position as the lady-in-waiting to the new queen, Madame du Barry, she quickly realizes that she is in for a different kind of life. Madame du Barry is a calculating and ruthless woman, and Madame D'Epinay is quickly outmaneuvered and sidelined. With the help of the Abbe Galiani, she begins to plot her return to the court. But can she outwit the most cunning woman in France, and win back the love of her life?; 8vo ; 280 pages; FSA.
