This is a book written by an author at he...r best. The book is set at the time of the French Revolution, but the theme of property and a ‘boom and bust’ economy is still relevant. The central marriage , circles around themes of desire, class, and a women’s voice in a male world. Add in murder, jealousy and death and you have a compelling book.
