Book Description
When Madame de Pompadour became the mistress of Louis XV, no one expected her to remain in that preeminent position for long. A member of the bourgeoisie rather than an aristocrat, she was physically too cold for the carnal Bourbon King, and had so many enemies that she could not travel publicly without risking a pelting of mud and stones. History has loved her little better.
Nancy Mitford's biography re-creates the spirit of eighteenth-century Versailles with its love of pleasure and treachery. We learn that the Queen was a "bore," the Dauphin a "prig," and see France gradually succumbing to revolutionary conflict. With a novelist's felicity, Mitford restores grace and humanity to the royal mistress, celebrating her as a survivor, unsurpassed in the art of living, who reigned as the most powerful woman in France for nearly twenty years.
About Author
NANCY MITFORD (1904–1973) was born into the British aristocracy and, by her own account, brought up without an education, except in riding and French. She managed a London bookshop during the Second World War, then moved to Paris, where she began to write her celebrated and successful novels, among them The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, about the foibles of the English upper class. Nancy Mitford was also the author of four biographies: Madame de Pompadour, Voltaire in Love, The Sun King, and Frederick the Great.

写的很传神，作者显然更适合写风雅有趣的鱼夫人，不少场景栩栩如生。

评分又风雅又刻薄，Nancy Mitford的文风写起18世纪的法国宫廷真是天衣无缝，可惜她对史料的掌握太弱，写八卦以外的东西完全是花架子。但总的来讲还是不错的消遣书。
