Can someone suggest a good book to read?

14. I liked "Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution" by Michelle Moran.

It's a well researched historical novel about Madame Tussaud who started the wax museums.
Because she modeled royalty as well as revolutionaries and the infamous, mostly in person, she had an opportunity to meet many of the key players in the French revolution and became friends with people on both sides of the conflict.
She was also required to make models of the severed heads of key guillotine victims to support the revolutionaries so she possibly had more first hand contact with more historical events than nearly anyone else.

The book does a good job of letting you experience the horrifying French revolution as if you were living in Paris at the time.
At times the insanity reminded me of the teabagger extremism today.

At the end of the book the author explains what liberties she took with the historical record in order to make a more coherent story.
Most are very minor.
