Hi Readers!
In 1789 two French Aristocrats have fled the revolution and are seeking safety in their chateau hidden deep in the Alps. Two centuries later a group of retiring friends band together to buy that same chateau and begin to discovers it’s long forgotten secrets.
Told in dual timeline we follow both stories as they unfold, making this unputdownable. This is definitely a ‘read-in-one-sitting and only take a break to go grab and ice cream’ type read. If you wanted to have the same experience as I did anyway.
The way the stories told through two timelines made this book well paced and unique to other historical fictions I’ve read. I also really liked the characters and a mystery which kept me intrigued enough to read more.
I loved the historical parts and has definitely made me want to read more books set during the French revolution. It was well researched, intrigueing and captivating.
