1870
Paris At War
Description:... The year is 1870. Paris is under siege by the German Army and consumed by revolution within its gates.
Twenty-one-year-old Robert and Mireille are caught up in war and madly in love. They must survive and find their futures in some of the most desperate days the great city has ever seen. Street battles rage. Spies and secret agents abound, making it impossible to be sure who’s on which side. Robert comes under suspicion from all sides while Mireille fights to protect her family and her lover.
Just when it seems peace with the Germans has been achieved, a revolution breaks out in the name of the Commune of Paris, and the city must go to war once again. Will Robert escape? Will Mireille come through the dangers she faces? Will they find the love and peace they desire?
Get caught up in the action and passion of a historical crossroads for France and Europe.
As Victor Hugo said about his book on another year, 1793, “L’annee est terrible, cruciale.” It is a terrible yet crucial year.
