This is a very interesting read. Even though it is a historical fiction it will challenge the way you think about the French Revolution, and will hopefully make you ponder on what humanity is and can be capable of.

This book follows the story of Madame Tussaud and her family as they struggle to follow their hearts and morals while trying to stay alive during the french revolution. It is a book that straddles both sides of the revolution and therefore it can be very dark and graphic, but it also shows the willpower and strength of what it takes for not only the physical survival but the spiritual as well.
