A book that belonged to my mom, which she got from the public library, and which I eventually read. I definitely learned more about this exceptional lady who rose to the top of the social pyramid (spouse of King Louis XIV) and that whole period of history. Despite her Huguenot background, she was complicit in the persecution of the Huguenots and therefore also a controversial figure.
And she was banned from being bought (for trade) at Barts. Alas.
