In the beginning, I wasn't sure I was going to like this novel because the narrative voice didn't strike me as sincere. However, I ultimately concluded that this was intentional, crucial to Naslund's characterization of Marie Antoinette as idealistic and naive yet well-intentioned. I am glad that I stuck with the book, as I ended up liking it very much.
