Tickets are $20 for members and $23 for non-members. I could not put the book down.Ĭaroline Weber will be at the Royal Ontario Museum tomorrow, Saturday, October 17th, from 1-2 pm giving a lecture called ' Marie Antoinette: Fatal Flair for Fashion', followed by a book-signing. She weaves a thoughtful and well-researched argument about how Marie Antoinette's choices of clothing and accessories became instruments of politics and power. From the introduction through to the footnotes, I was utterly entranced by the skillful writing. I demand writing that is clear, to the point and engaging.Ĭaroline Weber's book on Marie Antoinette: ' Queen of Fashion, What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution' is exactly my kind of book and a must read for both history buffs or fashion fans. I am not fussy about the topic so much as I am about the quality of the writing. I read widely - everything from serious non-fiction to chick lit. The stack of books beside my bed wobbles precariously every time I add more books to the pile.

Not only am I passionate about fashion, I am also a passionate reader.
