Madame Du Barry Reviews
29th July 2005, Times Literary Supplement. Review by Russell Goulbourne: 'Du Barry's story is perhaps not a very promising one, but Joan Haslip tells it with a beguiling blend of wit and sympathy.' 'Perfect for those who want the past to come neatly packaged, short on tiresome historical detail, long on love interest and political scandal.'
