Book Reviews of Elisabeth: The Princess Bride, Austria-Hungary, 1853 (The Royal Diaries)

Book Review: One of the most fascinating women in history
Summary: 5 Stars

Empress Elisabeth is one of the most fascinating women in history, yet she is virtually unheard of. She was the most beautiful woman in the world, if not in history (Cleopatra was seductive, not attractive)It is a wonderful addition to the Royal Diaries series, and it covers the period leading upto her marriage with Emperor Franz Josef. The book ends on a positive note, but the fairytale wedding couple did not live happily ever after. Elisabeth was hated by her mother-in-law, Archduchess Sophie, and her husband had frequent affairs, which lead to Elisabeth catching a disease. She then became fanatical about her appearance. The book is great for those who want to learn about such a great woman, whose life had many parallels with the late Lady Diana Spencer. This is my favourite book in the series, despite being one of the shortest.
