Madame de Pompadour by Nancy Mitford. The biography chronicles the life of Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour, a woman who served as King Louis XV's chief mistress and trusted counselor. Denounced by political enemies, Madame Pompadour, born outside the aristocracy, nonetheless became a patron of French art and was careful not to alienate the queen.
