«Una reina extravagante» is the historical novel by Jean Plaidy, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (457 pages, in Spanish).
Una reina extravagante shows Marie Antoinette defying the rigidity of the court: faced with a Louis XVI who does not consummate the marriage, the queen seeks refuge in wild parties and Parisian nightlife, which she attends in secret. The work combines that private facet with a portrait of pre-revolutionary France and the outbreak of the French Revolution.
Original title: «Flaunting, Extravagant Queen» (1957). Third instalment of Jean Plaidy's «French Revolution» series. Translated by Miguel Martínez Lage.
Will appeal to readers of historical fiction about the court of Versailles, the French monarchy and the Revolution.
