While a bit far-fetched at time, Gardner's story does provide for a decent YA version of Dickens' sweeping story, A Tale of Two Cities. (  ) lkernagh | Jul 23, 2017 |  ) katieloucks | Feb 26, 2016 |
Set during the French Revolution, Gardner's epic and tautly plotted tale engages readers from the start with its combination of romance and history, mystery and magic. Yann Magoza, an orphan, travels with entertainers who use supernatural powers in their act. As the novel opens, Yann and his companions are brought to a marquis's chateau, where Yann has a brief but fateful meeting with the foolish and cruel marquis's brave daughter, Sidonie, and where the marquis's associate, a scheming count, brutally but cleverly murders one of the magicians. The pace retains this thrilling momentum all the way through the heart-stopping climax. The novel paints vivid, convincing pictures of the Revolution: characters glimpse the massed thousands of Parisian women marching to Versailles, pitchforks in hand, demanding bread, and mobs setting upon suspected aristocrats. Suspenseful, complex and haunting Appartient à la sérieThe Red Necklace (1) Prix et récompensesDistinctionsListes notables
In the late eighteenth-century, Sido, the twelve-year-old daughter of a self-indulgent marquis, and Yann, a fourteen-year-old Gypsy orphan raised to perform in a magic show, face a common enemy at the start of the French Revolution. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

If you're not interested in gypsy culture or familiar with events of The French Revolution, it can get a little confusing or uninteresting, but is well written and it seems that Gardner did a fair amount of research while writing. However, because I am both uninterested in gypsy culture and the French Revolution, it dragged a bit for me. Some of the characters seemed out of place or immature as well and no one really gripped me other than Count Kalliovski (but I've always been partial to villains). (
