Agnes Sorel Mistress of Beauty

Noreen Nash

The King's eyes went to a young woman across the room. The extraordinary face startled him. He had never seen such perfection. He could not believe that she was real, she must be an apparition, a figment of his imagination, born out of his starved existence, but she was real and he knew in that moment that she must be his. So intense would be his love for her that he showered her with jewels, gave her castles and chateaux, and then he made her official mistress, the first official Mistress of France, equal to his wife the Queen. But with it came a price, jealousy -- "Jealousy which is as cruel as the grave." This is a story of love, desire, envy, and jealousy, those qualities of the human heart which are timeless and universal.   źródło opisu: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17410205-agnes...(?) źródło okładki: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17410205-agnes...»
