Minette

'Frothy, light hearted, gorgeous. The perfect Summer read.'

‘Beautifully told with exquisite period details…‘

‘If you’re done with the Tudors, carry on reading about the Stuarts.‘

‘Absolutely gorgeous and evocative of the 17th Century, storytelling was magnificent…‘

‘Makes you fall in love with Minette in such a way that you can feel all the emotions Minette experiences and have a desire to protect her…’

'Just a delight from start to finish...'

'An absolutely cracking read...'

To know her was to love her.

Born in the very heart of the dangers of the English Civil War, smuggled out of the clutches of Parliament as a toddler and then raised in near penury in exile in France, the charming and beautiful Princess Henrietta-Anne Stuart, youngest daughter of Charles I and Henrietta Maria is the original Cinderella, waiting breathlessly and with some trepidation for the moment when her family’s fortunes will be restored and she can reclaim her proper place in the world.

A treat for all fans of The Secret Diary of a Princess by the same author, Minette leads the reader into the flamboyant, exciting and treacherous world of Louis XIV's Paris and Charles II's raucous Restoration court as seen through the eyes of an enchanting and unforgettable heroine.

This is the first book in a two part series, with the second volume due out in Summer 2014.
