Dancing to the Precipice: Lucie de la Tour du Pin and the French Revolution by Caroline Moorehead

5.0

How I wish I could have known this remarkable woman, who witnessed a remarkable time in history. Thank goodness she wrote her memoirs providing us with a front-row seat to the events leading up to French Revolution and through it, the Terror and Napoleon's rule. This book mines her memoirs and places them beautifully in a greater historical context.
