To the Scaffold

The Life of Marie Antoinette

De: Carolly Erickson

Narrado por: Davina Porter

To this day Marie Antoinette remains one of history’s most misunderstood heroines. How she triumphed over the petty jealousies and backstairs rivalries of the court, how she sustained a good-hearted but malleable king, and how she was transformed from French queen to Austrian “whore,” is the story told with skill and fascinating detail.

Davina Porter is a treasure!

This book was a great read. I really have no criticisms. The story was wonderful, and the narration was superb. Davina Porter is one of my favorite narrators. Her voice is so smooth, sweet, and eloquent. I have now listened to a couple of books she narrated and will now be looking to see if I am interested in any others she has done.

Great story, great narration, great book.

Wish it was longer..

Best book ever! Wish it was much longer. I loved this book wish there was another book.

Love these historical stories by Erickson!

Carolly Erickson is the absolute best!! She tells everything I want to know in just the way I want to know it.

Exceptional in detail

Wonderful narration. Of all the historical biographies I have listened to this was a favorite. The process of the revolution, what led to it, and the unintended economic consequences it had on the revolutionaries were informative. A lesson in both governments, highly recommended. The narrator is a favorite of mine.

I learned a lot more then I ever had known about this Queen. I had always thought she was a real bust as a queen but now I gained a little respect for her. Thank you
