Summary

"Memoirs of the Court of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, Volume 7" by Mme. Campan recounts the gripping final chapter of Marie Antoinette's life during the French Revolution. Seen through the eyes of her trusted First Lady in Waiting, the story plunges into the heart of the royal family's imprisonment, the devious political schemes that sealed their fate, and the heartrending moments leading up to their execution. The narrative starts with a robbery against the Queen and moves swiftly to reveal ever-worsening circumstances, deepening hostility from revolutionaries, the loss of contact with the King, and terrible trials the family was forced to endure. Loyalties are tested and trust is broken as a close confidante tries to stay close and reveals the escalating horrors of these historical figures.
