Versailles by Kathryn Davis
2.0
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
VERSAILLES is a book that attempts to capture the elusive spirit of Marie Antoinette and the opulence of Versailles at its peak. A fluid combination of poetry, screenplay, first-person and third-person perspective, I never really knew what was going on while I was reading but I could sense the emotion of the story.
Reading it felt like a fever dream mixed with an interpretive dance (or maybe like when you're a child with the flu and are passing in an out of consciousness with the History Channel playing on the tv)-- not quite suited to my tastes, but maybe you're up for the challenge?
