Her mother, forever scheming and desperately ambitious, has high hopes for her daughter. Readers meet Maria Antonia as a spunky child in Austria.
Filled with smart history, treacherous rivalries, lavish clothes, and sparkling jewels, Becoming Marie Antoinette will utterly captivate fiction and history lovers alike." Yet nothing can prepare her for the ingenuity and influence it will take to become queen. Before she can journey from sunlit picnics with her sisters in Vienna to the glitter, glamour, and gossip of Versailles, Antonia must change everything about herself in order to be accepted as dauphine of France and the wife of the awkward teenage boy who will one day be Louis XVI. What she never anticipated was that the day in question would come so soon.
Goodreads says, " Raised alongside her numerous brothers and sisters by the formidable empress of Austria, ten-year-old Maria Antonia knew that her idyllic existence would one day be sacrificed to her mother’s political ambitions.
