À propos de cet audio
Catherine de Medici was one of history’s most powerful and influential women. To some, she was the ruthless queen who led France into an era of savage violence. To others, she was the passionate savior of the French monarchy. In this brilliantly imagined novel, acclaimed author C. W. Gortner brings Catherine to life in her own voice, allowing us to enter the intimate world of a woman whose determination to protect her family’s throne and realm plunged her into a lethal struggle for power.
From the fairy-tale chateaux of the Loire Valley to the battlefields of the wars of religion to the mob-filled streets of Paris, The Confessions of Catherine de Medici is the extraordinary untold journey of one of the most maligned and misunderstood women ever to be queen. ©2010 C. W. Gortner (P)2010 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Ce que les critiques en disent

Good Story
This was a great piece of historical fiction. While there are a lot of liberties taken with this story it was written very well and very detailed.
The narrative was great!

Great introduction to Catherine de Medici
C. W. Gortner does an excellent job of balancing the known facts of history, typically dry, with the more dramatized elements which have surfaced in various stories about this long-ago era, without straying into complete fancy the way so many historical novels and period dramas seem to these days. Much of what Gortner includes in this book has a fairly substantial historical basis, giving the reader a good sense of what life was like in this time period. I find Gortner's writing to be "Ken Follett-lite," following only one character in the first person, which makes it easier for the reader to pick up again after stepping away. Gortner's writing is meticulously researched. I spent 16 hours listening to the book and 4 hours researching the various details included, finding most things included to have some historical basis, with the notable exception of the author's suggestion that Catherine and Coligny had a sexual triste. Cassandra Campbell does a fantastic job reading the work aloud, a pleasure to listen to from start to finish.
