"I read/listened to this book to complement The Mistress of the Sun. It was excellent! Fraser presents a well-rounded, well-researched examination of Louis XIV, viewing him through his various relationships with the women in his life, beginning with his mother, and including his wives, mistresses, and relatives."
"Being relatively unfamiliar with the period in question (at least, on the French side of things), I was at least a little lost here and there with all the similarly named people. Still, Fraser's books are always very well-done, and this was an extremely enjoyable biography of Louis XIV and his loves."
"Fraser has written a brilliant and well-researched book about Louis XIV and the women in his life, Marie Mancini, his queen Maria Teresa, sister-in-law Henriette-Anne, Louise de La Vallière, Athénaïs, Françoise Scarron, and his granddaughter-in-law Adélaïde among them.
The book contains really fascinating depiction not only of Louis XIV and the people in his life, but the gender politics of the time. The queens, mistresses and confidantes that surrounded Louis XIV were some very compelling ladies. This book reads more like fiction than historical nonfiction. I absolutely couldn't put it down."
"I read this straight thru. I'm a fan of Antonia Fraser anyway and this was a great read. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves history."
