Madame Tussaud: a novel of the French Revolution / Michelle Moran

Everyone has heard of the famous Madame Tussaud Wax Museums. This novel tells the story of the life of the real Madame Tussaud - her loves, her fears and her ambition for success as a woman during the French Revolution. I found the character of Tussaud very compelling and the novel shed new light on a famous historical event through the retelling of Tussaud who was familiar with many of the key figures during the revolution. The novel is a great way to gain more knowledge about the revolution and of the great wax sculptor because you want to read about her story and you want to know how her story ends.

Who would enjoy this book? People who love historical fiction.
