![]() ![]() ![]() La Pompadour certainly had her say in politics and did advise Louis on all matters of state, however, much of her say was based on how Louis felt- literally. He is considered a weak ruler that takes counsel from his mistress to reign over the country. ![]() The people are enraged and blame his excessiveness and abiding loyalty to La Pompadour for their misery. ![]() He can no longer travel to Paris due to the extreme danger it poses him. Hunger is prevalent and the country is in turmoil, but Louis rather than owning up to his responsibilities, lives in complete denial while alienating himself all the more. This one is the second in the Revolution Series by Jean Plaidy- and I absolutely loved it! Moving on from the first book, (Louis the Well-Beloved- see my review here), which portrays Louis from birth to the beginning of his relationship with La Marquise de Pompadour- in this volume, Louis goes from well-beloved by his people, to completely loathed. ![]()
