About this listen

Paris: September 1792. At the West Barricade, the bloody guillotine continues her ghastly work. And word has gotten round that the mischievous Englishman who delights at ferrying off French aristocrats to England is somewhere among them. For today, the Citoyen Fouquier-Tinville, on his way to the Committee of Public Safety, received another enigmatic calling card. It was signed with a symbol of a red flower - the mark of the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Painful to endure

Reading this for a book club. Managed to plough though this. Tedious descriptions of beautiful...or not people, delicate hands, strong muscles and shoulders..... the horror of the French Revolution and the two sides of those perpetrating and experiencing the injustices of the time did sleep through. The disguises and double life a good aspect of story. All a bit too ‘Romantic’ for my tastes.
