Athenais: The Life of Louis XIV's Mistress - The Untold Story of France's Secret Queen | Historical Biography for Book Clubs & French History Enthusiasts

I wonder if this book was published in France. This is alot more history than I suspect they teach to French School children. It's pretty darn hot for most history books. Of course, she is a known part of Louis's life as King. It seems that having a mistress was a form of birth control for many people back in those days... Enough said, it's well written and well...interesting.
