review 1: I don't quite know what to say, but it's no one's fault I didn't like this book. It just wasn't what I expected. I thought the protagonist was the assassin, and this was tale of such adventures. It's not. I'd have to say, it is more of a tale of struggling to adapt to an ever-changing and uncertain world where secret forces are conspiring against you. It's a good history lesson if I hadn't spent a whole semester studying the French Revolution in rather intense detail.
review 2: After the last student book club on historical fiction, a student lent me her copy of the book. It is the story of an aristocratic girl living in France at the onset of the French Revolution. Due to her upbringing, she does not understand much of what is going on out in the streets.
... more Her brother attempts to protect her, and she ends up making decisions and becoming a stronger character because of them.I recommend this book to people who like historical fiction and/or the French Revolution. less
