The gossip and constant politics of this world hooked me immediately and I ended up zooming through this book!

Versailles was no place for people with subpar poker faces which was reiterated throughout this story. Though it sounds completely fictional, this is actually based on the Nesle sisters and their relationships with King Louis XV.Īt first I wasn’t sure if this book would be for me. ![]() ![]() Set in 18th century France at the court of Louis XV, The Sisters of Versailles follows the lives of five sisters and the successive rise and fall of each as mistress to the king.
