Empty Theatre: A Novel: or The Lives of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and Empress Sisi of Austria (Queen of Hungary), Cousins, in Their Pursuit of Connection and Beauty...

Loved this novel reimagining the life of Ludwig II (the Fairy Tale King) and his cousin, Empress Sisi.

Check out Visconti's Ludwig to get a real sense of their lives. Beautifully done and terribly underrated...probably because of it's hefty runtime.
