Spanish infante, daughter of Philippe IV and Anne of Austria, Marie-Thérèse was the energetic and much in view wife of the Sun King. Deeply in love with her husband, she succeeded in making him forget ?la Mancini? and despite sharing his love with ?la Montespan?, she was deftly able to maintain her position as first lady, legitimate spouse and mother of the heirs to the throne. A survivor of intrigues and her many rivals, Marie-Thérèse kept her place in the king's heart while remaining a respected and admired woman of his court, before retiring with the Carmelite nuns.
Hers was a rich and passionate destiny that Jacqueline Duchêne brings to life in this historical novel full of colorful images, lively anecdotes and enlightening descriptions of women's roles (wife, mother, mistress) at the height of the grand époque.
