A Place Of Greater Safety

A Place Of Greater Safety

Synopsis

A gripping and celebrated epic from Hilary Mantel, the Booker Prize-winning author of 'Wolf Hall' and 'Beyond Black', this is the story of three young men who find themselves in Paris at the dawn of the French Revolution. Georges-Jacques Danton: zealous, energetic and debt-ridden. Maximilien Robespierre: small, diligent and terrified of violence. And Camille Desmoulins: a genius of rhetoric, charming and handsome, yet also erratic and untrustworthy. As these young men, key figures of the French Revolution, taste the addictive delights of power, the darker side of the period's political ideals is unleashed -- and all must face the horror that follows.

  This book is excellent. The skill of her writing makes you feel like you are in the middle of the action. The characters are complex and so real. This book consumed my life completely... a word of warning... it requires commitment to get through. I was the only one in my book club to finish it. It is more intense than Wolf Hall and definitely not one for lovers of popular fiction.
