Queen Margot Sintesi dell'editore

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Paris, August 1572. Marguerite de Valois, sister to the King of France, has just been married to the Protestant Henri de Navarre in a match built entirely for politics, meant to seal a peace between Catholics and Huguenots that neither side wants. Neither does the bride, who feels nothing for her new husband and, within days of her wedding, finds herself drawn to a young Huguenot gentleman, La Mole.

Behind the celebrations, Queen Mother Catherine de' Medici is finishing preparations for something the wedding was designed to disguise: a massacre of the Huguenot nobles gathered in Paris for the occasion, launched on the night of Saint Bartholomew's Day with the ringing of a church bell. Margot finds herself sheltering the men her own family is hunting through the streets below her window, her marriage transformed overnight from a diplomatic formality into the only thing standing between her husband and the assassins.

Published in 1845, La Reine Margot draws on one of the bloodiest nights in French history and turns the court of the last Valois kings into a nest of poisoners, duelists, and conspirators, with Margot herself — clever, sensual, and nobody's pawn — as its most compelling player. This new translation keeps Dumas's pace and his gift for making a documented atrocity read like a thriller without ever softening it.
