But when Claire sees the gaping disparity between the poverty she has known and the lavish lives of aristocrats as her theater group performs in their homes, and Pauline witnesses the execution of local bread riot leaders, both are driven to join the uprising. They, along with upper-class women like Madame Manon Roland, who ghostwrites speeches for her politician husband and runs a Parisian salon where revolutionaries gather, will play critical roles in the French peoples bloody battle for liberty and equality.</p><p>Based on a true story, author Marge Piercys thrilling and scrupulously researched account shines with emotional depth and strikingly animated action. By interweaving their tales with the exploits of men whose names have become synonymous with the revolution, like Robespierre and Danton, Piercy reveals how the contributions of these courageous women may be lesser known, but no less important. Rich in detail and broad in scope, <em>City of Darkness, City of Light</em> is a riveting portrayal of an extraordinary era and the women who helped shape an important chapter in history.</p>...2319427City of Darkness, City of Light188229https://www.gandhi.com.mx/city-of-darkness-city-of-light-9781504033367/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3486229/cb93bcc4-f050-45f2-b861-670f2569fafc.jpg?v=638385441718730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169781504033367_W3siaWQiOiI4NzE3NWU5My00MjM1LTRlYWUtYjg5OS02YzYzMzM1ZmY0MDAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIyOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQxLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE4OCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDQtMjRUMDM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d<<*>>(*_*)9781504033367_<p><strong>This novel by a <em>New York Times</em>bestselling author follows three bold, courageous, and entertaining women through the tumult of the French Revolution (<em>Booklist</em>).</strong></p><p>For Claire Lacombe and Pauline Leon, two poor women of eighteenth-century France, the lofty ideals of the coming revolution could not seem more abstract.
