Wonderfully written book. I learned a lot about the French revolution and about life reading it.

The journey to Peace, Love, and Wisdom is a positive story with, for the most part, good-willed people. That is if you put apart the horrors of the French Revolution and the evil it brought out in some individuals.
It is told by the young farm boy, Nicholas, who, seeking adventure, joins the Swiss Mercenary Corps avowed to protect King Louis XVI of France.
The book was enjoyable, but a true sense of period was spoiled by a few anachronisms. These included a reference to a photo on a poster (photography was invented in the 1820s but not in general use until the 1870s/80s). Mention is made of split eardrums, a concept known to just a few in the late 1700s, and which certainly would not be understood by those with Nicholas' background. There maybe others, e.g., "scam," a word that arose in the early 1960s in the US, but the star has to be synchronicity, as it appears several times and is an essential part of the story. Synchronicity was coined by the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung c1928.
Interestingly, Napoleon Bonaparte makes an appearance, but only an appearance, yet there is no mention of Robespierre.
An interesting story, but rather spoiled by the above, along with the occasional word that made no sense in the context, leaving one puzzling over the meaning of the sentence, perhaps the result of an overimaginative spell checker?
