About The Lacemaker and the Princess by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
In this historical novel set in Versailles, Isabelle earns her living as a lacemaker until Marie Antoinette rescues her from a crowd and makes her companion to the queen’s daughter. A new name and fashionable clothes bring Isabelle into palace life, while at home she continues to sew under her grandmother’s disapproving eye.
As rumors of hunger and revolution reach the palace, Isabelle must reckon with the difference between the people she knows in town and the kind family she has come to know at court. Inspired by an actual friendship between a French princess and a commoner, the story offers young readers a personal view of class divisions and the pressures surrounding the French Revolution.
