I was looking for a historical fiction novel and had enjoyed My Dear Hamilton and another by Stephanie Dray, so I decided to try this novel of the French Revolution. It’s divided into 6 parts, each focusing on a different woman and written by a different author. While I ended up enjoying the book overall, it felt like work to get into each new section. It’s been a long time since I read Marge Piercy’s City of Darkness, City of Light, but I might recommend that one first.
Moderate: Confinement, Blood, Sexism, and Torture
