Another great book from Daphne du Maurier - I’m yet to find one that isn’t good! Her writing style is just timeless, and the talent to convey complex subjects and emotions in such a succinct way is amazing. I love historical fiction, and the extent of my knowledge of the French Revolution begins and ends with Les Mis, so it was very interesting to read about. The unique community and world of glass-blowers was also fascinating. Sophie Duval was the narrator, but I wish we heard more about her life, rather than her brothers’ lives.
