«Les Adieux à la Reine» is the historical novel by Chantal Thomas, published by Points in paperback (in French).
Exiled in Vienna, Madame Agathe-Sidonie Laborde recalls her service reading aloud to Marie Antoinette and the last days of Versailles. The narrative focuses on July 14, 15, and 16, 1789, when the servants disappear and the courtiers flee, while the luxury of the palace coexists with the outbreak of the French Revolution.
For readers of historical novels interested in the French Revolution and in the figure of Marie Antoinette.
Chantal Thomas is a French writer and historian. Her 2002 book, Farewell, My Queen, won the Prix Femina and was adapted into a 2012 film starring Diane Kruger and Léa Seydoux.
