Critic reviews
"The portrait is drawn delicately, with pleasant touches of humor...Fraser's approach is controlled and thoughtful." (Publishers Weekly)
"Absorbing as ever. Fraser's blend of insight and research persuade us that this unfortunate queen deserves neither the vilification nor the idealization she has received." (The New Yorker)
"Donada Peters...excels at injecting subtle irony into seemingly flat narrative. She handles the snotty comments and the lewd scandal-mongering of the court with equal aplomb. Fraser is one of the most highly respected and best-selling biographers of our time, and it's easy to see why in this enlightening glimpse into the turbulent France of the 1770s." (AudioFile)

As to Donalda Peters narration- I had no problem listening to her and do not think her voice detracts from the story at all.
Very Detailed

I HAE LISTENED TO SO MANY... BUT THIS IS AMONG THE TOP.Who was your favorite character and why?
THE PROTAGONISTWhat about Donada Peters’s performance did you like?
SHE IS CURRENTLY MY FAVORITE READER -- SUCH INTELLIGENCE AND SENSITIVITY IN HER VOICE -- AND SHE CAPTURES THE IRONY AND HUMOR, AS WELL.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
NO, I'D RATHER SAVOR IT.Any additional comments?
LISTEN TO IT!UTTERLY CAPTIVATING

It also showed that even the top tier of women in society daily courted death because they were(and many would argue STILL are) essentially brood mares and useful political pawns as their families trade them on the marriage market for their best political and financial gain.
If you're not interested in history, I probably wouldn't get this book as it goes into exhaustive detail about the Queen's life which might be boring for those not enamored with the subject.
Good learning experience and well-researched.
