Description

Madame de Pompadour by Nancy Mitford

This is the biography of a famous Royal Favourite, who kept her job for twenty years, and then lost it only by dying. She was very well-read, very well-dressed; and Miss Mitford is obviously thrilled by her subject. She pours out the story in the highest spirits and at a rattling pace. The style is excessively simple, she might be gossiping to a friend on the telephone about something that had amused her the previous night at a party. Madame de Pompadour is not only deliciously readable but strictly accurate. Miss Mitford's book is far the best account of her that I have read. I recommend it confidently. One hardly notices that it is instructive, it is so continuously entertaining.
