"4th read of the book across the years (first read was on US publication in the mid 90's) and I am still impressed and entertained by this excellent recreation of the tumultuous events of 1788-11794 in France through the eyes of Danton, Desmoulins and Robespierre as well as the circle of their acquaintances and friends...
Since comparisons with Wolf Hall are inevitable, I think that the latter is better written somewhat as a novel, but this one is more entertaining and interesting and does not drag as Wolf Hall does at the end, but is a non-stop ride for all its 750+ pages"
"Brilliant historical novel. The French Revolution as seen through the eyes of the women who were involved. I read this too long ago to remember much more than the fact it was totally gripping and a very enjoyable read."
"Everything about this book is huge- its length, its scope, its cast, and its research. Mantel takes us to the razor's edge- showing how those brilliant men who engineered and orchestrated the French Revolution and its ideals lost control of their creation and became victims themselves of the Terror. It is immensely readable, with engaging, complex characters. Mantel does an excellent job of portraying Robespierre, Desmoulins and Danton in a way which leads readers to be sympathetic towards them while also being horrified of what they were party to. An excellent read for anyone who finds the French Revolution fascinating, and a wonderful novel overall."
