In the shadowed salons and feverish streets of 18th century Paris, one woman's conviction shaped the fate of a nation. Charlotte Corday, both the author and the subject of this singular historical fiction novel, draws readers deep into the heart of revolutionary France, where ideals clash and destinies are rewritten. Against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this is a story of political intrigue, assassination and justice, and the courage it takes to stand alone. Every page pulses with the urgency of a world in turmoil, where the line between right and wrong is as sharp as a blade. For those fascinated by women in history and the charged atmosphere of the Marie Antoinette era, Corday's account offers an intimate glimpse into the moral complexities of her time. The Parisian setting is vivid and immediate, immersing historical fiction readers and book club discussion groups alike in the swirling passions and perilous choices of the age. Hilary Mantel fans and collectors of classic literature will appreciate the rare literary and historical significance of this work, which remains as provocative today as when it first appeared. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
