Paris, 1791. The Bastille has fallen, the king is a prisoner in his own palace, and France is devouring itself.
Andrée de Taverney, Countess of Charny, is the queen's most trusted confidante - and the wife of Count Olivier de Charny, the most devoted of Louis XVI's loyal nobles. After six years of estrangement, husband and wife have finally found their way to each other. But happiness in revolutionary Paris is a fragile and dangerous thing.
As the Legislative Assembly convenes, the Jacobins rise, and the mob surges through the streets of Paris, the Charny family is pulled apart by forces no individual can withstand. A secret from Andrée's past - a son born of violation and shame - threatens everything she has rebuilt. Marie Antoinette, who loves Charny with a passion she cannot conceal, has no interest in seeing the marriage survive. And the mysterious Cagliostro, master manipulator of revolutions, moves the pieces of a game older than any republic.
From the storming of the Tuileries to the trial and execution of Louis XVI, The Countess of Charny is the sweeping finale to Dumas's Memoirs of a Physician cycle - a portrait of love, sacrifice, and ruin against the bloodiest backdrop in French history. By the author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo.
