First of all, I warn the reader that this book is a fictionalized biography and not actually a Memoir. That is, Jeanne Becu, Madame duBarry herself is not the author. Therefore, I must admit that I didn't expect much when I ordered this biography of la DuBarry on Kindle. It was a free download and I thought it was worth trying out. I can only say that I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it. The Introduction, which is a very concise biography of la DuBarry, is actually well written and factually correct. The "Memoirs" themselves however are too fictionalized to be good history and not interesting enough, in my opinion, to be good fiction.
So, if you're a real fan of la DuBarry and want to read anything dealing with her life, this fictionalized autobiography might help you idle away some free time. Otherwise, I can't recommend it.
