It's written by that man that you definitely do not want to date. Like, ever. Also, nice family name.
This book is a weird and somehow historically inaccurate historical fiction set during the french revolution. Yes, well, British authors have bias on french history? It's more likely than you think.
There will be a bunch of characters that you will probably forget and move on during the half of the book because you don't get much what he is trying to say, but then suddenly you realize at the end that some people died and you close that book, throw it on the floor and cry because what the french fries just happened. Also, a woman killing people with knitting tools, very important concept and definitely, absolutely historically accurate.
Pretty sure everyone falls in love with the dead man, really, all you need to know for your exam is that someone dies, and somewhere a revolution is happening with ironic slogan like liberty, equality and fraternity (or, very occasionally, death). Wonder how that went.
The bottom line: this book is truly, the best and the worst of time.
