I am delighted that my novels are a means for people to get to know not only the Marie-Antoinette, but also lesser known heroines such as Madame Royale and Carolina. Thank you for the kind words!!elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-10144252738601825382007-02-15T15:41:00.000-05:002007-02-15T15:41:00.000-05:00loved the story of Duchessa Carolina di Berry! Bea...loved the story of Duchessa Carolina di Berry! Beautifully written. She is one of those forgotten royals who deserves far more recognition than what she got!<BR/>I am a huge fan of hers, Maria Elena Vidal captured her essence in "Madame Royale" which was just a breathtaking account of life after the main revolution in France. Although it does mainly focus on the life of Marie Antoinette's daughter Therese, it also gives so much insight and information on what life was like for the royals during their exile after the revolution and during the restorations. I found this so intriguing.<BR/>But what intrigued me the most in "Madame Royale" were the tales of Carolina! What a wonderful character! She was so fiesty and strong headed for her time, or as the Italians would say "testa dura"!!<BR/>I was so taken by her that I found myself wanting to write a screeplay about her and shooting her romantic love story with Count Ettore Luchessi Palli. I have already shot a film about Marie Antoinette entitled Let Them Eat so perhaps this will be my next extravaganza!!<BR/>Bravo to Maria Elena Vidal for posting this wonderful story of my favorite royal who I seem to share much in common with!!<BR/>I do still love Marie Antoinette so very much, she was a wonderful woman and it's hard not to draw comparisons with her and Carolina, they were so very similiar!!<BR/>Thank you for keeping her spirit alive Maria Elena!!<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Leslie CottleLeslie Cottlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706001832546163115noreply@blogger.com
