AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
16yo Juliette Pitau has been hauled in front of King Louis XIV and convicted of stealing one of his prize jewels. Now, as she awaits her fate, she goes back over the events that brought her here. From her life as the daughter of the king’s premier jeweler and down through their disgrace and the desperate gambles she has made to restore her father’s reputation.
Unfortunately Juliette fails to catch my imagination and sympathy – her story just didn’t generate the angst and anxiety that I was looking for to capture a reader’s attention.
