Look out for this novel when it is published later this summer if you like an intelligent historical novel. This is no swashbuckling adventure, though the setting is tense. In the aftermath of the French Revolution, in war-torn Rhineland, the old and new orders form an uneasy alliance in the face of invasion. I wished I knew more of the history but Dickinson creates sympathetic characters that ensured I wanted to follow their story.
