Synopsis
Andi lives in New York and is dealing with the emotional turmoil of her younger brother's accidental death. Alex lives in Paris and is a companion to the dauphin, the young son of Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI, during the violent days of the French Revolution. When Andi is sent to Paris to get her out of the trouble she's so easily enveloped by in New York, their two stories collide, and Andi finds a way to reconcile herself not only to her past but also to her future. This is a heart-wrenchingly beautiful, evocative portrait of lives torn apart by grief and mended by love.

Review
`Intelligent, absorbing and original . . . my book of the month - if not the year'
--Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
`I started the book late one night, planning to just read a chapter to give me a taste of it before heading off to bed. Eight chapters later I was still reading, engrossed in the story . . . Donnelly's writing is amazing, with so much detail that I really felt like I was right there in Paris' --A Trillion Books
`I cannot think of the last time that I encountered such skilled storytelling as that which I have found in Revolution. Jennifer Donnelly is gifted in her ability not only to immerse the reader in history but also to write stunning contemporary fiction'
--The Mountains of Instead
`The story shows spoilt Andy growing into maturity and empathy, and the diary of the Terror is gripping. A pacy adventure for older readers, with appropriately salty language'
--The Financial Times
`A highly imaginative, cleverly structured mature novel . . . It's complex themes such as Man's capacity for evil and the cyclical nature of revolutions and power . . . make it a hugely rewarding book to read'
--School Librarian
`Donnelly has executed an ambitious story with enormous scope and I highly recommend it to mature readers' --School Librarian
`Donnelly's ambition and scope reap rich rewards in this beautifully written story of two young women divided by 200 years . . . Donnelly is a remarkable talent and this is a remarkable book' --Daily Mail
`One of my favourite books of the year. Love, loss, hope, redemption and forgiveness: Revolution is about all of these things and more . . . If you don't know any teens to buy this for at Christmas, it's definitely worth treating yourself'
--Daily Express
