Rival French Courts is a fascinating memoir of life at the French royal court in the late 18th century. The book provides an insider's perspective on the courtly intrigues, rivalries and scandals that characterized this turbulent period in French history. The author, a lady-in-waiting to several prominent French noblewomen, offers vivid descriptions of the glittering balls, elaborate fashions, and lavish meals that were a hallmark of the court, as well as the darker side of court life, including the cruel and capricious treatment of prisoners in the Bastille.
