The Moon and the Sun

The Moon and the Sun is a historical romance featuring a somewhat improbably perfect heroine, with a fantastical twist in the existence of sea people. I think it would be most enjoyed by readers interested in fiction about daily life at Le Roi Soleil's court at Versailles, since the setting, fashions, customs, complicated social webs, and politics were portrayed in great detail. The many titled people are court were difficult to keep straight at first, but they provided a complicated social environment for the ingenue, Marie- Josèphe, to navigate. The fantasy part of the story comes along very slowly, though it does eventually affect events. Though I occasionally became impatient with the heroine's unending goodness and the many hairstyle or outfit descriptions, I enjoyed both the story of The Moon and the Sun and its meticulous setting.
