ABUNDANCE
 

A Novel of
Marie Antoinette

 
Sena Jeter Naslund
 

 

For my beloved daughter
Flora Kathryn Naslund

 

Oh, you women of all countries, of all classes of society, listen to me with all the emotion I am feeling in telling you: the Fate of Marie Antoinette contains everything that is relevant to your own heart. If you are happy, so was she…. If you have known unhappiness, if you have needed pity, if the future for you raises in your thoughts any sort of fear, unite as human beings, all of you, to save her!

—Germaine de Staël, from
Réflexions sur le procès de la reine
(“Reflections on the Trial of the Queen”), 1793
