Not living in Europe, we got the capsule version of the French Revolution in school. This historical fiction book examines the French Revolution through the eyes of the French women. There are 6 different women with each telling their own story. Each story is written by a different female author, yet the book is cohesive. It holds together well. After reading this, you have a different appreciation of how life must have been for the people of France, both royalty and peasant.
