Dangerous woman: Marie Antoinette
The glamorous and doomed Marie Antoinette was known for her oblivious excess, including her extensive, expensive wardrobe. Masterson smartly brings us into her court at Versailles through the eyes of 16-year-old Giselle, hired as an “undertirewoman,” or wardrobe assistant, to the notorious queen. As the revolution approaches, Giselle finds her loyalties torn between her employer, her family, and a handsome revolutionary — and conflict boils over into bloodshed.
