Synopsis
"A bawdy romp one minute, a gruesome tragedy the next."—The Sunday Telegraph
The Marquis de Montespan and his new wife, Athénaïs, are a true love match—a rarity amongst the nobility of seventeenth-century France.
But love is not enough to maintain their hedonistic lifestyle, and the couple soon face huge debts. When Athénaïs is offered the chance to become lady-in-waiting to the Queen at Versailles, she seizes this opportunity to turn their fortunes round.
Too late, Montespan discovers that his ravishing wife has caught the eye of King Louis XIV . . .
Prize-winning author Jean Teulé lives in Paris, France.

Review
‘A bawdy romp one minute, a gruesome tragedy the next. The writing is beautiful, witty, grisly and moving, and reeks of authenticity.’ Sunday Telegraph
'Fascinating...I rooted wildly for the brave Marquis' Daily Mail
'Dazzling' Le Point
‘Teulé recreates with gusto the bizarre social mores of the nobility at that time: appalling, dirty and wicked . . . the author explores the hidden corners of history with the ease of a seasoned veteran.’l’Express
‘A magnificent novel’ Paris Match
‘An unrestrained, nightmarish, hilarious, and moving portrait of the underbelly of the Grand Siècle, wading through its baseness, its excrement and its entrails.’ Elle
‘The husband of Louis XIV’s favourite never came to terms with being deceived by the king. Jean Teulé has restored the name of this magnificent cuckold.’ Figaro Littéraire
