Louis the Well-Beloved has been replaced by Louis the Well-Despised. It is the same man, Louis XV, but the people have a different regard for him. He was hated so much that he feared passing through the city of Paris. He built an alternate route: The Road to Compiegne.
He is known for his many mistresses. Probably the most famous is Madame de Pompadour. She reigns supreme in the court of Versailles, much to the dissatisfaction of the King's family: a pious wife, and equally pious Dauphin and Dauphine, and a flock of slightly mad daughters. As Madame de Pompadour's romantic attraction fades, she comes up with a brilliant plan: the Parc aux Cerfs, basically a brothel of young girls for the King. In doing so, she gives up her role as mistress and becomes the King's best friend. She remains so for over 20 years, and is able to keep her power, a feat that is almost impossible with Louis XV. When she dies, he is desolate, and tries to replace his beloved Pompadour. Jest when he is about ready to give up all hope of doing so, he meets and falls in love with no other but Madame du Barry . . .
This book isn't the best book by Jean Plaidy. Unlike most of her other books, this one drags on at points. Also, some parts are confusing. That may be because I am not familiar with the French names. But Madame de Pompadour has always fascinated me, and I was glad to learn more about her.
