FIC NASLUND This novel begins when 14-year old princess Toinette sheds her Austrian identity and is "reborn" as the French Marie Antoinette on an island in the middle of the Rhine. Initially, Marie is much beloved by the French people, particularly after finally producing an heir to the throne, but as economic conditions worsen, she is made a scapegoat for the dissatisfaction with the royal regime.
There are many exciting scenes involving the attempted escape of the royal family and poignant ones from her years in prison.
