Pure and simple: this book is outstanding. Hilary Mantel achieved the unthinkable with this book and more. Form the roots of revoultion to its initial twist into something more sinister, this book has it. I read this book two Christmas' ago - spanning over 800 pages - it gripped me alike to an iron chain wrapped tight. The story would not leave me, and personally, I never wanted it too either. The author has laboured perfectly writing this book, bringing life into such historical characters from French history as Maximilien Robespierre, Georges Danton and Camille Desmoulins. Even though the book is typically slow at its initial start, which I expected from it, in its progress it opens up to reveal the horrors the French Revolution brought upon its own people and also the world, in the late 18th Century. I can mention there is nothing to dislike about this book. Okay, I understand nothing is perfect, although this is the best damn historical novel about the French Revolution I have read. And as the cover says: it is "Superbly readable..." When compared to book alike to Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, Hilary Mantel brings more to the pitch with A Place of Greater Safety, using its entertainment and depiction of bloodthirsty France, to show the horrors of the French Revoultion.Read full review
