I liked this book very much, but the cover implied it was a true story. The Lacemaker is fictious, not a person Marie Antoinette knew. The true event was the French Revolution. I think this book is a wonderful introduction to the period for a young reader, as it is well researched and well written.

The dust jacket portrays a beautiful English garden. The synopsis mentions fate. After a slow start caused mainly by the author's use of first and another time last names, with a bevy of artist characters, the tempo escalates to an all night page turner. Unfortunately, the plot goes in a very dark and unexpected direction. Fate does not sink the ship! If you fancy a macabre unresolved cliffhanger, this book may be for you. I'm sorry I read it and I've read all but one of her other books.
