Charles II...from his sister's perspective,
By sally tarbox (aylesbury bucks uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wandering Prince (Mass Market Paperback)
Although billed as an account of Charles II's early life, this is very much seen from a female perspective, namely that of his adored younger sister, Minette.Smuggled out of Puritan England while a small child, Minette joined her exiled mother as the 'poor relations' of the French court. Meanwhile her father, Charles I, was executed and the future Charles II wandered from country to country, a charismatic and charming man. Minette fell secretly in love with the young Sun King, Louis XIV, but he was oblivious to her and she ended up in an unhappy marriage to his homosexual brother Phillippe. Louis did finally realise her intelligence and beauty and they developed a close friendship, but this led to more problems for Minette... A great read as with all Jean Plaidy's books and I learned a lot as we rarely hear what happened to Charles II between his father's death and the Restoration
