Where do a song go once it's over? The songs that touched you deep within, do they fade away from the lack of sound? Well, I believe, if you listen with your heart than your ears, then you can hear the story in the melody echoing inside you. I believe songs are about the relationship between words and music. To me songs tell a story through the lyrics. Sometimes happy. Sometimes sorrow. This is a compilation of short stories inspired by songs. Copyright © CrownedMadness | Maddy Alson 2014

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.
