The book chronicles the life of Louise de la Vallière (1644–1710), mistress to Louis XIV, France's Sun King. Her meteoric rise from an impoverished background to become the king’s mistress attracted unwanted attention and her life was filled with the terrors and tragedies that accompany all internecine tales of palace intrigue. Amid rumors of black magic and sorcery, loved ones would die, and she herself would ultimately arrive at a crossroads where she would be forced to choose between her loyalty to the king and her own personal salvation. <br /><br />Go to http://www.amazon.com/Mistress-Sun-Novel-Sandra-Gulland/dp/0743298926/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246201517&sr=1-1 tolearn more about what other people are saying about the book.Llehnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03808225636111637085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938746175776662186.post-62515655510247592032009-06-27T22:16:20.546-04:002009-06-27T22:16:20.546-04:00I recommend the Commoner by John Burnham Schwartz....I recommend the Commoner by John Burnham Schwartz. It's the story of Empress Michiko, the first commoner to marry into the Japanese Imperial family. Haruko excels in tennis and through this meets the Crown Prince. The prince admires her greatly and she eventually agrees to marry him against her father's recommendations. Her family worried that she would be lost to them living with the restrictions and expectations of members of the Imperial family, the book covers her isolation and difficult adjustment but with great sympathy and kindness. It's a beautiful love story and I enjoyed getting to know each of the characters.<br /><br />I found it wonderfully written, touching and fascinating to read.Gaby317https://www.blogger.com/profile/10246618515307982406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938746175776662186.post-81630359816524258842009-06-26T15:18:50.038-04:002009-06-26T15:18:50.038-04:00I recommend L.M.
