An Author Encounter

Before I get to the books mentioned below, I wanted to mention a just-published book that’s getting a lot of acclaim: Marie-Therese, Child of Terror: The Fate of Marie Antoinette's Daughter by Susan Nagel.

I wrote earlier about Nagel’s biography of Mary Nisbet, Mistress of the Elgin Marbles. Last week I had the chance to meet Nagel in person when she came to Philadelphia to speak at the Acorn Club, where she gave a very interesting talk about Marie Antoinette and Marie-Therese.

See this link for a New York Times review of the book:
