520 "A sumptuous and sensual tale of power, romance, family,
and betrayal centered around four sisters and one King.
Carefully researched and ornately detailed, The Sisters of
Versailles is the first book in an exciting new historical
fiction trilogy about King Louis XV, France's most "well-
beloved" monarch, and the women who shared his heart and
his bed. Goodness, but sisters are a thing to fear. Set
against the lavish backdrop of the French Court in the
early years of the 18th century, The Sisters of Versailles
is the extraordinary tale of the five Nesle sisters--
Louise, Pauline, Diane, Hortense, and Marie-Anne--four of
whom became mistresses to King Louis XV. Their scandalous
story is stranger than fiction but true in every shocking,
amusing, and heartbreaking detail. Court intriguers are
beginning to sense that young King Louis XV, after seven
years of marriage, is tiring of his Polish wife. The race
is on to find a mistress for the royal bed as various
factions put their best foot--and women--forward. The
King's scheming ministers push Louise, the eldest of the
aristocratic Nesle sisters, into the arms of the King.
Over the following decade, the four sisters--sweet, nai;ve
Louise; ambitious Pauline; complacent Diane, and cunning
Marie Anne--will conspire, betray, suffer, and triumph in
a desperate fight for both love and power. In the
tradition of The Other Boleyn Girl, The Sisters of
Versailles is a clever, intelligent, and absorbing novel
that historical fiction fans will devour. Based on
meticulous research on a group of women never before
written about in English, Sally Christie's stunning debut
is a complex exploration of power and sisterhood--of the
admiration, competition, and even hatred that can coexist
within a family when the stakes are high enough"--
