I was spurred to buy this following a conversation with friends after we saw the recent movie version of “Marie Antoinette,” starring Kirsten Dunst. My roommate and her two friends and I debated how historically accurate the movie was after watching it one weekend in Silver Spring, MD. Maybe it doesn’t matter since the film was enjoyable and entertaining and it did cause me to head straight for the nearby Borders bookstore to buy a book on it and know more.
