«Monstres» is the historical novel by Frédéric Richaud, published by Julliard in 2022 in paperback (208 pages, in French).
In the Louvre palace of 1655, Catherine Beauvais, nicknamed Cateau la borgnesse, moves through a court that venerates beauty while her body arouses rejection. Her mastery of plants, remedies and physical care brings her close to Queen Anne of Austria and allows her to carve out a place among the nobility, in a tale of social ascent, palace machinations and a disturbing idea: that monsters are not who they seem.
The subtitle of the work is «roman» and its publication date is 6 October 2022. It is catalogued under Literature and Fiction and History.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction interested in the seventeenth-century French court, the era of Mazarin and the Fronde, and stories of social ascent.
