[quote=""LoobyG""]Just started 'Mistress of the Sun' by Sandra Gulland, a novel about Louise de la Valliere who was a mistress of Louis XIV
I loved Sandra's trilogy on Josephine so I'm expecting good things.[/quote]
Except, unlike Josephine, Louise was a bit of a milquetoast.

I liked Louise the way Dumas wrote her. That's all I'm sayin'.

I've finished today "Amazing Grace: The Great Days of the Dukes" by E.S. Turner (315pgs, 1975, 2003ed)*. I really enjoyed this book, it was well written, and I found it very interesting and humourous at times. It deals with non-royal dukes and royal bastards who were made dukes and their descendants.
