Mistress of the Revolution allows a birds eye view of the French Revolution through Gabrielle Monseratte's eyes. Catherine Delors goes to great lengths to remain historically accurate while creating a riveting story. I was amazed and astounded by the literary portrayal of the sights, sounds, and smells of 17th century France. Gabrielle Monseratte not only overcomes all of her life's trials and tribulations but manages to do it with panache. If you are looking for a book with a strong female character leading the charge, this is definetly the book for you!
