A spellbinding, epic novel which recounts the events between the fall of the Ancient Regime and the peak of the Terror, as seen through the eyes of the French Revolution′s three protagonists -- Georges-Jacques Danton, Maximilien Robespierre and Camille Desmoulins, men whose mix of ambition, idealism, and ego helped unleash the darker side of the Revolution′s ideals and brought them eventually to their own tragic ends.
Critically acclaimed upon first publication, A PLACE OF GREATER SAFETY is one of Mantel′s most celebrated works of fiction.
