Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution by Michelle Moran
3.0
I'm really torn on this book....
Pros:
- I learned a lot about French history
- I learned a lot about Madame Tussaud
- The information on what the salon was like and tableaus was really interesting
- Excellent depiction of the horror and chaos that was the French revolution
Cons:
- There were too many characters that were hard to keep straight. I didn't think it was necessary to include absolutely everyone who was a part of the revolution
- I felt like the psyche of Marie and how she was feeling could have been explored more
- I didn't love the end where we learn how she became Mrs. Tussaud (she was not married for a lot of the book and learned about that in about 10 pages)
- I didn't love the writing
