It took thousands of people behind the scenes to keep the monarchy running. This is their untold story.
The underbelly of Versailles is exposed in this powerful story of love and betrayal. Louis XIV’s Versailles was carnivalesque: 20,000 people at all levels of the hierarchy were required to keep the monarchy functioning. This is the adventure of those in the shadows: those who tended to the sprawling grounds, to every room, to the minutiae. Though they barely existed to those whom they served, this novel shows they did not go unnoticed – like the wigmaker who was too ambitious for her time, or the apprentice hanged for treason. The fates of these servants are inextricable from the fate of the monarchy. A unique exploration of Versailles from another angle altogether.
