Editor's Note:
The heroine of this book, Louise, duchesse de La Valliere, was the only woman whom Louis XIV ever loved sincerely. At the age of barely seventeen she became his mistress at Fontainebleau, where she was a lady-in-waiting to Madame Henriette, sister of Charles II. Having borne four children in rapid succession, her decline in health coincided with the advent at Court of her friend the flamboyant marquise de Montespan, who set herself by crude means to fascinate Louis. When she succeeded, Louise, broken-hearted, escaped to a nunnery. Like all human beings she was created for love.
