Abundance - Sena Jeter Naslund

This novel was interesting but not particularly well written, it was very repetitive and overly descriptive (of the same things over and over). However it was very well researched (I assume), full of historical details and stories. The editor could probably have cut out about a quarter of the text. It was an entertaining read but not one I would recommend to anyone not overly obsessed with  Marie Antoinette.
