Madame de Pompadour

By Nichole Dapelo

At the tender age of five, Jeanne Antoinette Poisson was told by a fortune-teller that she would one day reign over the heart of the King. Since that moment, her entire existence became dedicated to preparing for what she considered her destiny. In this historical-fiction novel that is heavily based on historical documentation, Madame de Pompadour recounts the education and experiences of her youth that led to her relationship with Louis XV, and the social and political restrictions that she overcame both as a bourgeois in Paris and later in Versailles. Despite the intrigues and betrayals of the courtiers who despised having a commoner fulfill the official Court title of mistress to the King of France, her relentless love and devotion served to maintain Madame de Pompadour as the official favorite of Louis XV for twenty years, during which time she became one of the most powerful and influential political figures and patron of the arts in all of France.
