Brief Summary Antoinette’s Sister by Diana Giovinazzo

Marie Antoinette, her most beloved sister and dearest friend, as we all know, went to the ill-fated King Louis of France. The novel runs on two equal themes. One is the development of Queen Charlotte from her youth as a 15-year-old bride to a remarkable and admirable queen. She overcomes numerous obstacles and is able to do so because of her strict, no-nonsense, well-educated upbringing. She was groomed to rule. Her husband is basically, and true to history, a buffoon whose only purpose is to impregnate Queen Charlotte (15 times), and then leave her to govern while he played his games.
The second parallel theme is the relationship of Queen Marie Carolina Charlotte and Queen Marie Antoinette. We see them develop from childhood almost like twins. Many chapters include a letter from Queen Marie Antoinette to Queen Charlotte.
