A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel


Book Description from Amazon

An extraordinary, epic novel set during the French Revolution, winner of the Sunday Express Book of the Year Award.A spellbinding, epic novel which recounts the events between the fall of the Ancient Regime and the peak of the Terror, as seen through the eyes of the French Revolution's three protagonists - Georges-Jacques Danton, Maximilien Robespierre and Camille Desmoulins, men whose mix of ambition, idealism, and ego helped unleash the darker side of the Revolution's ideals and brought them eventually to their own tragic ends.Critically acclaimed upon first publication, 'A Place of Greater Safety' is one of Mantel's most celebrated works of fiction.
This is a recommendation only and not a review by me.
