I Will Repay by Baroness Orczy

3.0

While not as good as The Scarlet Pimpernel, this was still a fun, fast read that I couldn't help but get caught up in. Shed some more light on the dreadful times of the French Revolution as well. The book opens with a duel between a young boy and a slightly older man. The boys death causes the emotional collapse of his father who makes the boy's sister promise the seek revenge on the other man. From there, the book takes us on the girl's journey as she tries to wrestle between the solemn oath she swore to her father and what her heart tells her to do. The Pimpernel plays a small but important part towards the middle and end of the story. The story just seems to pick up pace and energy when his character is involved.
