Sophia, Mme. Campan is the one im reading nowdays, its very good but sometimes, she mix the information about the daugthers of Louis XV.

Marie , yes, me too, i saw in her name many times, thats why i starded looking for it, but i confess that i didnt read it yet, first i have to finish Mme. Campan's book.
