Where the Light Falls (Pataki) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
A vivid painting of Paris during the Reign of Terror.... Devotees of Dumas and Hugo willdevour this tale of heroism and treachery…but purists may balk at the occasional anachronistic language and dialog...and other fictionalization of real people despite explanations by the authors.
Library Journal


Meticulously researched…the book succeeds in forcefully illustrating the lessons of the French Revolution for today’s democratic movements. However, sheer talkiness too often overpowers the narrative, and the swashbuckling close is too little, too late. [W]orthy but stultifying.
