“That beastly bourgeois Pompadour was one thing a common prostitute is quite another kettle of fish.”Īfter decades of suffering the King’s endless stream of Royal Favorites, the princesses of the Court have reached a breaking point. Jeanne bursts into his life and, as the Comtesse du Barry, quickly becomes his official mistress. In the final installment of Sally Christie’s “tantalizing” (New York Daily News) Mistresses of Versailles trilogy, Jeanne Becu, a woman of astounding beauty but humble birth, works her way from the grimy back streets of Paris to the palace of Versailles, where the aging King Louis XV has become a jaded and bitter old philanderer.
