![]() ![]() The author did a very good job with the history. ![]() There are also French words, phrases, and sentences with no translation (which is frustrating). The story comes across more like a young adult novel in places (especially with Margot’s infatuation with Henri, Duc de Guise). I found it to be very dry and dull (flat). Medicis Daughter is a very long, drawn out novel (I just never got into this book). I thought it would be interesting to learn more about Margot. We find out how she felt about the Protestants (Margot is Roman Catholic) and their fight with King Charles and how this affected her life.I picked Medicis Daughter because I enjoy history, and I love the show Reign. ![]() We find out how she lived her life under her mother’s thumb (and her brother’s, King Charles who seemed to have mental issues). It is told from Margot’s perspective from the time she is a young girl through the days after her marriage (when she is nineteen) to her cousin, Henri, the King of Navarre. Medicis Daughter tells the story of Catherine de Medici’s daughter, Marguerite de Valois (aka Margot). I just finished the historical novel Medicis Daughter by Sophie Perinot. ![]()
