Why read it?
1 author picked Madame Tussaud as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A thrilling and fully immersive description of the French Revolution; I loved this book in particular for its moving description of how the Jews of Paris were affected.
I found Madame Tussand’s story to be a wonderful frame for the upheaval in France at the time – especially as a highly layered, wonderful character whose strong personality helped her to survive troubling times.
It’s definitely my favorite Michelle Moran book – and that’s tough, considering how many amazing historical novels she’s written.
From Michelle's list on historical fiction books on the French Revolution and Napoleon that portray real life.
