This volume recounts the tumultuous events surrounding the French Revolution from the perspective of Marie Antoinette’s First Lady in Waiting, offering insight into the Queen’s experiences and the mounting political unrest in France. It chronicles the intricate dynamics at court, the challenges faced by the monarchy, and the profound emotional turmoil experienced by Marie Antoinette amidst the rising tide of revolution. At the start of this volume, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of significant historical events, such as the oath taken at the Tennis Court and the ensuing royal assembly. The opening scenes depict the Queen's strong emotional responses to political maneuvers, particularly regarding M. Necker’s actions and the increasing animosity toward the royal family. Mme. Campan portrays the escalating tensions of a nation in turmoil, as seen through the uneasy interactions between the Queen and the populace.
