		One of Lady Antonia's daughters, Flora Fraser, is an historical biographer.
		Quiet as a Nun - A Tale of Murder (published 1977) by Antonia Fraser, is a thriller that begins with the death of a nun who apparently starved herself to death in a ruined tower (The Tower of Ivory) adjoining the grounds of the Convent of the Blessed Eleanor, a nunnery...
		Fraser's sizable new portrait avoids the saccharine romance of Evelyne Lever's recent Marie Antoinette, balancing empathy for the pleasure-loving queen with an awareness of the inequalities that fed revolution after all, Marie herself was fully conscious of them.

	Royal Charles: Charles II and the Restoration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		While this is by no means an uncritical biography, Fraser argues persuasively that Charles was the master politician of his generation, and she seduces us into cheering on Charles' various attempts, late in his reign, to govern without Parliament.
		Fraser doesn't assume prior knowledge of English history, so is a great starting point for a first-time encounter with the English Restoration period, yet Fraser's erudition provides enough satisfaction too for seasoned history lovers.
		Antonia Fraser does a great job here, outlining the lives and adventures of the Kings and Queens of England, from the time of the Norman conquest.

	Marie Antoinette: The Journey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Marie Antoinette (1755-93) emerges in Fraser's sympathetic portrait as a goodhearted girl woefully undereducated and poorly prepared for the dynastic political intrigues into which she was thrust at age 14, when her mother, Empress Maria Theresa, married her off to the future Louis XVI to further Austria's interests in France.
		Fraser does a good job in pointing out that Marie's spending habits were only a drop in the bucket of France's mounting economic crisis in the 1770s and 1780s, but her extreme visibility made her an easy target for the rising public anger against the monarchy.
		Fraser also does a good job of documenting the love affair Marie had with Count Axel Fersen as well as the infamous Diamond Necklace Affair, which ruined her reputation once and for all.

		LADY Antonia Fraser is a formidable historian and part of London's upper class glitterati.
		I remember V.S. Naipaul telling me disdainfully: "Oh, Salman Rushdie, he spends most of his time dining with Antonia Fraser." Anyway, Ms Fraser besides being married to the hugely successful working class playwright Harold Pinter, makes sure she is seen only with the very rich and very powerful.
		Those who are privy to Lady Antonia's thoughts say, in her book ministers of cabinet rank, Booker Prize winners, prime time TV presenters, editors of London-based quality Sunday papers, the poet laureate and Prince Charles could possibly make it to her bed.

		However, Merchant never got over the dissolution of her marriage, which finally came about in 1980, and her premature death at the age of 54 on October 3, 1983 was brought about by acute alcoholism.
