A single act can alter the course of history. In the heart of revolutionary France, Charlotte Corday stands at the crossroads of conviction and consequence, her bold defiance echoing through the corridors of power and the annals of time. Jeanette Van Alstine’s historical fiction novel breathes new life into the extraordinary true story of Corday-an ordinary woman thrust into the turmoil of the French Revolution, whose name became synonymous with both assassination and justice.With the immersive sweep of biographical fiction, this political intrigue book delves into the passions and perils of 18th century France, capturing the fervour of women’s rights activism and the complex moral landscape that shaped Corday’s fate. Van Alstine’s nuanced portrait draws readers into the world of revolutionary ideals and personal sacrifice, making it a compelling choice for historical fiction readers, book club discussions, and admirers of Hilary Mantel or Antonia Fraser. Every page is steeped in the tension and hope of a society on the brink, revealing how one woman’s courage can illuminate the shadows of history.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For anyone captivated by French Revolution history or the enduring quest for justice, Charlotte Corday is both a collector’s gem and a stirring journey into the soul of revolutionary France.
