Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly Book Summary

Readers of If I Stay and Elizabeth George will love Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly, author of the award-winning novel A Northern Light. Revolution artfully weaves two girls’ stories into one unforgettable account of life, loss, and enduring love; it spans centuries and vividly depicts the eternal struggles of the human heart.

BROOKLYN: Andi Alpers is on the edge. She’s angry at her father for leaving, angry at her mother for not being able to cope, and heartbroken by the loss of her younger brother, Truman. Rage and grief are destroying her. And she’s about to be expelled from Brooklyn Heights’ most prestigious private school when her father intervenes. Now Andi must accompany him to Paris for winter break.
 
PARIS: Alexandrine Paradis lived over two centuries ago. She dreamed of making her mark on the Paris stage, but a fateful encounter with a doomed prince of France cast her in a tragic role she didn’t want—and couldn’t escape.
 
Two girls, two centuries apart. One never knowing the other. But when Andi finds Alexandrine’s diary, she recognizes something in her words and is moved to the point of obsession. There’s comfort and distraction for Andi in the journal’s antique pages—until, on a midnight journey through the catacombs of Paris, Alexandrine’s words transcend paper and time, and the past becomes suddenly, terrifyingly present.

Such a good book!!!. This book was so good I couldn't stop reading. The way the story if Andi's tragic life is told keeps you wanting more. The story within the story only intensifies that feeling. I also learned a lot of thing about the French Revolution.

Amazing, fast read. Couldn’t put this book down. You won’t regret reading this 😊

A story through the ages. To take an emotion such as anger, pain and, sadness can be seen as easy emotions to write out, explain. Jennifer Donnelly does a magnificent job of not just taking one young girls emotions and transferring it to her readers, but two young girls living drastically different yet stunningly similar lives. With a quick ease, Jennifer Donnelly has strung together a heart throbbing tale of two bloody rivers rushing by enter-twinning with the small twist of fates hand.

Revolution. An amazing story. Donnelly writes beautifully, understands human needs and motivations, sees the beauty in this ugly world.

Love the book. I own the book so I only got the sample but I just have to say I didn't know who I was before I read this book I cried and I laughed great book great book buy it you must buy it. I'd give it a Novel Peace prize if I could !!

Love it!. This book was very interesting. I usually get bored with history but after I was done with this book, I wanted more information on Lewis XVII. I really enjoy the book and I recommend it.

Amaaaaaaaazzing!. A fabulous book. I didn't want to put it down. (which is why I stayed up until 2 in the morning to finish it) It's a great story and I learned a lot too. Definitely worth the time and money.

Revolution!!. This book was the most inspiring book I have ever read. I've read a single shard, tamora pierce novels, and so many books meant to inspire people, but revolution did the most...after I finished I was so emotionally charged that I didn't know how many or which emotions I was feeling. I didn't cry but it is my favorite book of all time better than the mortal instruments, nancydrew, and everything!!!!

Best Book!!!. This is one of the, if not the best, book i have ever read!!! It is so good!!! You must read it especially if you like history! I just wish there were more books like this! Are there any titles of some that are?

Fantastic story. This book takes you from the trials of modern-day Brooklyn and Paris to the gritty insanity of 18th century France as a young woman facing her own personal upheavals finds meaning through the upheaval of an country torn by change and revolution. Excellent read, tightly written. Five stars!

First Time Reading. Just started reading this book, and I am extremely enjoying it!

AMAZING. I read this book in hard copy, not as an iBook, but it was so fabulous I had to leave a review. I am not usually a big fan of this type of book, but I loved it. The characters were so realistic and the writing skills of Jennifer Donnelly shown through. I suggest this for anyone to read.
