As a devout follower of the French Revolution, I had my doubts about this book, but it was recommended by a friend so I decided to give it a shot. The characters are beautifully brought to life and the intrigues and inner workings are beautifully shown in this novel. I've read a lot of other historical fition about this time period, but all of the revolutionary leaders were always portrayed as cruel and heartless. Mantel presents these men as real people with virtues and vices. Though not completely historically accurate, this book is something everyone needs to read.
