About
'The Two Dianas' is historical fiction at its most romantic and swashbuckling.
Set in 16th century France, ´The Two Dianas´ offers a fictionalised account of the death of the French king, Henry II, at the hands of Gabriel, Comte de Montgomery.
The Dianas in question are the king's mistress, Diana de Poitiers, and her daughter, Diana de Castro. As the story unfolds, we are taken through Protestant uprisings, political deceptions, sword-rattling battles, and desperate romance.
A fine tale packed with swagger and poise that defines much of Dumas' work, ´The Two Dianas´ will surely delight anyone familiar with his other novels, such as ´The Three Musketeers´.
