As my husband and I start preparing for our move to France, in one year and 117 days, I'm giving away some of my books set in France. This week, it's a historical novel called The Sisters of Versailles by Sally Christie. I reviewed this one for FranceBookTours and you can find the review here.The novel, based on a true story, is about a family of five sisters, four of whom became mistresses to the king, Louis XV during the 18th century.
The book gives a true feel for the sumptuous, wasteful lifestyles of many of the royalty during this period of French history, but also delves into the emotions of the characters. I enjoyed this one and I think you will too.
I have a paperback copy that I will mail to you if you're the winner.
There are several ways to enter, beginning with leaving a comment on my blog.
Good luck, and I'll notify you next Sunday if you won so I can send you the novel.

I should have started a list at the start of all the Paris and France books I have read - and I have run into several other people that are as obsessed.
Isn’t it strange that I think about missing you when you go to France!! It must be something about the distance making even the prospect of meeting you less limey. Very odd:)
That was supposed to say less likely"
Sim, That is funny. And no doubt we'll see each other just as often. Wait! Maybe more often.
Haha, yes!
I'd like to win cause historical novels are my favorite genre

I want to read this book because I love historical fiction and am mad about anything French. Best of luck on your move.
How fun to be planning your move to France. I am reading a series of books by a woman who did just that. I think the novel sounds interesting.
