New French version of Mistress of the Revolution.
A flamboyant fresco, Gabrielle ou les infortunes de la vertu is the novel of the apprenticeship of a young aristocrat determined to defend her dignity scorned by men. Her fight for independence meets that of the people overthrowing privilege and oppression.
Original English version of Gabrielle ou les infortunes de la vertu.
An impoverished noblewoman, Gabrielle de Montserrat is only fifteen when she meets her first love, a commoner named Pierre-André Coffinhal. But her brother forbids their union, forcing her instead to marry an aging, wealthy cousin.
Widowed and a mother before the age of twenty, Gabrielle arrives at the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in time to be swept up in the emerging turbulence—and to encounter the man she never expected to see again. Determined and independent, she strives to find her own freedom as the Revolution takes an ever more violent turn.
