Description

'A thrilling novel of female intrigue, betrayal and revenge. Read it!' LUCY WORSLEY
'Dark and delicious' Red Magazine
'Utterly gripping and highly relevant' SIMON SEBAG-MONTEFIORE
_____________________
Fear your neighbour. Praise the Republic. Preach liberty. Hate monarchy. Speak in whispers. Trust no-one.

Revolutionary Paris, 1792: As the city spirals into bloodshed, Henrietta Lightfoot a young Englishwoman runs for her life to the extravagant home of Grace Dalrymple, notorious courtesan to the aristocracy.

But loyalties are tested when she befriends Grace's arch rival, a committed revolutionary and mistress of the most powerful man in France. Trapped in a terrifying game of wits between these two dangerous women, Henrietta is about to learn the most brutal lesson of her life.

A tale of friendship and betrayal, The French Lesson is an eye-popping drama of power and manipulation, as the women written out of the French Revolution tell their own story of smarts and sacrifice.

PERFECT FOR FANS OF HARLOTS and BRIDGERTON
