review 1: This book was very well written and was set up with thought. I enjoyed the notes and content in the front and back giving us information (such as the generality chart-and her ending remarks tying the book all together. I feel like a lot of times the authors start their thoughts but they leave it up to the reader to try and figure out the authors point or what they wish people to derive from their book)I did kind of wish that she spent less time on the mothers and more time on the daughters
review 2: Terribly tragic - The mothers were successful monarchs, born to their thrones, and the daughters were consorts who suffered tremendous emotional pain at the hands of husband, revolutionaries or even their children.The thing I love most about Gelardi's works is her ... moreability to soften history and make it personally affecting. Her works feel like a novel with the footnotes to support the history. less
