![]() ![]() ![]() Rutherfurd is a remarkable writer in many ways. ![]() Their lives cross paths through the years in often unexpected ways and while Paris is an historical fiction novel, this is as much an epic story of families as it is about the history. We encounter the noble de Cygnes, the bourgeois Blanchards, the lower class Gascons and the revolutionary Le Sourds. Taking four families, from different social positions, Edward Rutherfurd weaves these family histories into the history of Paris and France. As enchanting and complex as the city he describes. Rutherfurd's exemplary historical research supports a wonderfully woven saga of four families from different social positions through the ages that captures the spirit of the nation. Summary: Spanning the years from 1261 to 1968 but focussing on the period from 1875 to 1940. ![]()
