Customer Reviews

Michelle Moran truly brings history to life!

I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. Very hard to put down. I was initially curious about the life of Madame Tussaud. I suddenly found myself in the middle of a street in France, during the most bloody and terrifying time in the country's history. I plan on reading the rest of this author's wonderful works! If history teachers could use this book in their classes, their students would richly experience the impact that the French Revolution had on it's people. I would recommend this book to anyone, it's a fantastic read!
