Synopsis -

[A Physco Thriller set in the French Revolution]

Paris, 1793

It is a time when people's hearts are tainted in ghastly hues of red and black, a time when people rage and roar as the wheels of Revolution turn at a dizzying speed.

Philippe Fitzgerald is thrown out of the French Army after committing a crime that everyone deems unspeakable. When he returns to Paris--his home town-- to find even the last drops of its magnificence squeezed out by the Revolution, he struggles to make his way through the dredges of poverty. It is a time when the lowest rungs of the economic ladder bear the brunt of political tension and legislative inadequacies.

It is then that he forged a deep bond of friendship with noblewoman Marie d'Aramitz, who has been ostracized by her people due to their fear of a powerful man who is hunting her down to salvage the pitiful remains of his family name.

Together, in a country that smothers the fire before it is a spark, they try to set the people ablaze.

Review -

Ok so I tried to read it, I really did. Historical Fiction, really historical anything, bores me. I managed to read the first chapter before it all became a blur that I couldn't process.

I can't really remember much of the story except, that it's a lot better then most Historical Fictions I've tried to read.

Your synopsis makes the book sound really interesting, and I wish I was able to read more so I could give you a more thorough review. I tried, I really did.

I noticed a couple of spelling mistakes, but that's about it, as far as errors go. More specifically you have one in your synopsis.

Speaking of the synopsis, the part about the Physco Thriller. I would change it to 'set during the French Revolution' instead of 'set in the French Revolution'. Just a thought, I think it sounds better.

I also love the bit at the end of the synopsis about setting the people ablaze in a country that smothers sparks, it's a really well written line that I think grabs possible readers attention.

So to sum everything up, just fix some spelling errors. You have a great story here. I'm sure lots of people will love it.

Thank you for the opportunity to review your work. As always if you need anything else let me know.
