Original titleMy Dearest Minette: The Letters Between Charles II and His Sister Henrietta, Duchesse D'Orleans
Charles II was a renowned ladies' man but, arguably his greatest love—though not in the Biblical sense—was his sister Minette. Separated from her in their youth by a royal inter-marriage, his letters reveal a tender and humane side not often seen in biographies of this cunning and calculating monarch.
