The sadness of angels....
The inclusion of the Battle of Waterloo was a surprise yet gave a greater depth to what made France fall like Rome after its own defeat....
To now return to little Corsette... it's hard to not feel the true sadness weigh on your heart... this book knows how to convey emotions.

I can understand why this might be long for some as it does enjoy a deep dive into many things...
That being said, I did not expect certain aspects that continue to bring surprises of little forms of happiness knowing darkness and sadness is soon to crush you.
Oh Gavroche you little artful dodger of France

Fate.
A wonderful word when given in optimism.
This book brings you to the people of France, to walk their streets, see and smell what they dealt with...
And throughout this... our fated characters ..how they interweave and reconnect... it borders the convenient …bordering the word fated.
