At sixteen, she is one of Marie Antoinette's newest undertirewomen, and in awe of the glamorous queen and her opulent palace life. A budding designer, it's a dream come true to work with the beautiful fabrics and jewels in the queen's wardrobe. But every few weeks she returns home to visit her family in the Parisian countryside where rumors of revolution are growing stronger. From her position working in the royal household, Giselle is poised to see both sides of the revolutionary tensions erupting throughout Paris. When her uncle, a retired member of the secret du roi, a spy ring that worked for the old King, Louis XV, suggests that she casually report the Queen's actions back to him as a game, she leaps at the chance. Spying seems like an adventure and an exciting way to privately support the revolution taking the countryside by storm. She also enjoys using her insight from Versailles in lively debates with LeÌon Gauvain, the handsome and idealistic revolutionary who courts her. But as the revolution continues to gain momentum, and Giselle grows closer to the Queen, becoming one of the few trusted servants, she finds herself dangerously torn. Violence is escalating; she must choose where her loyalty truly lies, or risk losing everything...maybe even her head. THE WARDROBE MISTRESS is Meghan Masterson's fascinating and visceral debut, not to be missed"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 01 $a Marie Antoinette, $c Queen, consort of Louis XVI, King of France, $d 1755-1793 $v Fiction. 611 27 $a Revolution (France : 1789-1799) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354514 648 7 $a 1789-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dressmakers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a France $x History $y Revolution, 1789-1799 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Love stories. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020416.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6EAED0DCB42211E9B815892E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
