The Lacemaker and the Princess

The Lacemaker and the Princess by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley is about a common girl named Isabelle making friends with Marie Antoinette's daughter. She has to make the decision between her family and staying with the royal family. Her brother is wrapped up in the coming revolution and she must decide where she stands.

I enjoyed the book, but was a bit frustrated with Isabelle at times. It seemed that she didn't really understand the suffering of the country. Therese, the princess, was extremely selfish and wasn't a good friend to Isabelle.
