Madame Du Barry by Joan Haslip
Jeanne du Barry, courtesan and Louis XV's official mistress was the last of the French royal favourites. In this biography, Haslip portrays du Barry as an ordinary woman thrust into extraordinary circumstances in the royal court of 18th century France, victim of her own beauty.
29th July 2005, Times Literary SupplementReview by Russell Goulbourne: 'Du Barry's story is perhaps not a very promising one, but Joan Haslip tells it with a beguiling blend of wit and sympathy.' 'Perfect for those who want the past to come neatly packaged, short on tiresome historical detail, long on love interest and political scandal.'
