Pettycoat Court. A Paris court life novel review
Maud Hart Lovelace's Pettycoat Court is set in Second Empire Paris with Chloe Peyroux a New Orleans war bride. The book blends politics and romance as Chloe aims to aid the Confederacy while competing with a Spanish beauty and Empress Eugene. The reviewer notes lively period scenes but calls the plot tame and sketches of many characters. The Empress Eugene is portrayed as a match maker and pettycoat ruler, with vivid depictions of court life and the social world surrounding diplomacy.
