Children of Saturn: A Novel

An epic historical novel of the French Revolution and the men and women who shaped it, Children of Saturn vividly chronicles the dramatic conflict of social unrest that haunts France—and the world—to this day. Rooted in deep research and told through the fates of three real-life historical figures including the English American political activist Thomas Paine, the French Revolution's leading radical journalist Camille Desmoulins, the Machiavellian politician Joseph Fouché, and the women who stirred these radicals, Children of Saturn continues the literary tradition advanced by Hilary Mantel, promising readers a thrilling ride and an all-encompassing understanding of one of the most important watershed events in world history.
