Annette Vallon: A Novel of the French Revolution

James Tipton "Annette Vallon: A Novel of the French Revolution"
Harper Perennial | English | November 4, 2008 | ISBN: 0060822228 | 528 pages | azw, epub, lrf, mobi | 3,55 mb

This book is two stories in one. The first story is a love story, about the relationship between Annette Vallon and William Wordsworth. These two romantic souls found their perfect matches in each other, and Annette seemed to inspire Wordsworth's poetry. Unfortunately, events conspired to prevent them from living their dream of a life together. The second story is the story of France's struggles during the series of waves of violence that made up the French Revolution. As the the violence becomes less and less controlled and begins to strike at people who are guilty of nothing more than being at the wrong place at the wrong time, Annette uses her connections and skills to help save some of these innocent souls.

This story helps shed a bit of light on the sequence of events during the French Revolution, and reminds us of the huge toll of human suffering that was paid by the people of France. Ultimately, Annette's love for Wordsworth helps her to survive and inspires her to resist the worst abuses. Mixing tragedy and romance, readers may find themselves haunted by this story.
