I love this cover art! The colors are beautiful, the dress is indicative of the period, and the model actually looks as though she could have been the real Marie Antoinette. What do you think?
I cannot even tell you how excited I am for the release of the first book in this trilogy. Although there have been a few MA novels in the past, none have had that sweeping, evocative quality (think Josephine B. trilogy by Sandra Gulland) a Marie Antoinette novel really should. I have high hopes for this one. Becoming Marie Antoinette releases August 9th, 2011.
This is one of the best covers I’ve seen in a long time as it shows the face of the woman, the clothes fit to the period and it has lovely colours!

Her head hasn’t been cut out of the cover, which is very nice. I love the detail on the dress. Plus I’m a huge fan of pink.

Lovely cover. I like the way the background is used. It is not so much a backdrop as it is an emphasis of her position.
Yippee! I am on a blog tour for this book in August but haven’t received it yet or seen the cover. I love the dress! Thanks for the post, I can’t wait to read it!
