Her best features are her green eyes and her beautiful hair and is growing into quite the beauty, quite in danger of falling prey to young men. One of several children, Angelique is high spirited, and lives her life amongst the villagers and in the marshlands around her home. Young Angelique is born into a noble but impoverished family in the mid 1600's. Somewhat unusually this book doesn't have any kind of synopsis at all on either the inside or back cover so I hope that I can do justice to the plot without giving too much away. The first I remember hearing about the series is when Ana did an Author Spotlight about Serge and Anne Golon at Historical Tapestry. I am not quite sure how I managed it, but some how I have managed to spend the last twenty five years of my reading life in complete ignorance about the Angelique series, and yet having just finished reading the first book (well actually first two books) in the series, I am confident in saying that this book has everything that I love in a book.
