Join Lisa VanDamme as she guides you through Ninety-Three by Victor Hugo. Recommended Book Url: https://readwithme.app.link/8WfqjpAKEjb Description Ninety-Three takes place during the bloodiest period of the French Revolution, the Reign of Terror – a time when the Vendée woods have become a pivotal and tragic battleground. It is the setting for a showdown between two formidable and ruthless adversaries – one Royalist, one Republican – that tests the limits of their inexorability. A novel with thrilling action, dazzling heroes, and a deeply thought- provoking theme, Ninety-Three looks at revolution and asks: Is it worth it, and at what cost? Why Lisa loves this book Ninety-Three is my favorite novel – not just by Hugo, but favorite period. It is the capstone work for all my students at VanDamme Academy, and I have yet to encounter one who was not both riveted and moved by it. It is a masterpiece of a novel, as spine-tingling in plot as it is soul-stirring in theme. But personally, what I love most of all is the characteristically Hugoesque spirit of humanity that radiates from its pages. To learn more about Read With Me visit https://readwithmesalon.com
