A rich and sweeping novel of courage, duty, sacrifice, and love set during the French Revolution from New York Times bestselling author Allison Pataki and her brother Owen PatakiThree years after the storming of the Bastille, the streets of Paris are roiling with revolution. The citizens of France are enlivened by the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. The monarchy of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette has been dismantledwith the help of the guillotineand a new nation is rising in its place. JeanLuc, an idealistic young lawyer, moves his wife and their infant son from a comfortable life in Marseille to Paris, in the hopes of joining the cause. Andr, the son of a denounced nobleman, has evaded execution by joining the new French army. Sophie,a youngaristocratic widow, embarks on her own fight for independence against her powerful, vindictive uncle.As chaos threatens to undo the progress of the Revolution and the demand for justice breeds instability and paranoia, the lives of these compatriots become inextricably linked. JeanLuc, Andr, and Sophie find themselves in a world where survival seems increasingly less likelyfor themselves and, indeed, for the nation.Featuring cameos from legendary figures such as Robespierre, Louis XVI, and ThomasAlexandre Dumas, Where the Light Falls is an epic and engrossing novel, moving from the streets and courtrooms of Paris to Napoleons epic march across the burning sands of Egypt.
