Theres so many memorable scenes in just this one book, my favorite scene is probably Angelique and the poison(I won't give it away!) Like another reviewer has said, it is definitly a very cool scene. I also love how Golon brings to life historical figures. Intrigue,suspense,romance,action,wonderful historical detail,great and memorable characters, the works. Its really brought to life a time period I knew very little about, 1600s France. The Marquise of Angels is my favorite book of the series so far. The Angelique books are excellent historical fiction and both Golons(Anne and Serge) were born storytellers. The copy I read was actually an old library copy of it, and it was titled Angelique and combined this book and Road to Versailles as one. I've just discovered the Angelique series(reading Angelique in Barbery just this minute) and I cannot believe such a brilliant series is out of print in the USA! Angelique:The Marquise of Angels is the first book of this series, and is about the childhood and first marriage of one of literatures greatest heroines, Angelique.
