Quotes about ‘Vive Madame la Dauphine’ written by André Romijn

'An extremely well-researched historical novel displaying much intelligent sympathy with Marie Antoinette and her world.'
Munro Price - Professor of Modern European in History at the University of Bradford and author of critically acclaimed books include The Fall of the French Monarchy, which won the Franco-British Society's Literary Prize and was shortlisted for the Longman-History Today Prize.

‘Everyone interested in history should thank Romijn for his new, nuanced, and honest depiction of Marie Antoinette in this hard-to-put-down novel. This book combines the best of serious scholarship and page turning entertainment. Gone are the clichés of “Madame Deficit” and let-them-eat-cake arrogance. Replacing them is a more realistic portrayal of a capable young lady sent alone to France as it faced one of its most destructive epochs.’
Gerard Shea – Historical Novel Society

‘André Romijn writes in an eloquent style that compliments the story well. Once I finished the Prologue the book became difficult to put down. The story, as it unfolds, provides a feeling as if you, the reader, are encountering the same vivid and well described situations and encounters at Versailles as Marie-Antoinette.’
