By Pieraldo Lietti
Length55m
About this audiobook
Versailles, 1785. A magnificent diamond necklace, a forged royal signature, and a secret meeting in the palace gardens set in motion one of the most extraordinary scandals of the French monarchy. Cardinal de Rohan believes he is acting on behalf of Marie Antoinette. Jeanne de La Motte knows otherwise. As the deception unravels, jewelers, courtiers, and impostors are drawn into a public trial that captivates Europe. Drawing on historical records and conflicting testimonies, this immersive narrative reveals how a queen who never possessed the necklace became entangled in a scandal that shook the monarchy.
