Author Q&A
France 1789: a time of terror; a charismatic boy, Yann, who must find out who he is; the daring rescue of Sido, an aristocrat's daughter - these are the elements in this tremendous adventure by a consummate storyteller, a marvellous tale of the first days of the French Revolution.
'The novel is rich in characters...and, although it uses modern dialogue, it vividly evokes time and place... enthrallingly told, it offers action, surprises and protagonists to care about'
