Andi returns to her own century wondering if all that had happened was true or some strange effect from her medication and the knock to the head. She also returns with a sense of acceptance of all that has happened. In the epilogue, Andi is living in France with her mother, who has gotten through her own depression with help. She still has a strained relationship with her father, who is with his new family, but enjoys playing music with Virgil around Paris. Publication history The book was published in October, 2010 by Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House, with a first run of 250,000 copies. Reception The Kirkus Reviews gave Revolution a starred review, saying "Donnelly combines compelling historical fiction with a frank contemporary story. Andi is brilliantly realized, complete and complex. The novel is rich with detail, and both the Brooklyn and Paris settings provide important grounding for the haunting and beautifully told story." Publishers Weekly thought "Donnelly's story goes on too long, but packs in worthy stuff. Musicians, especially, will appreciate the thread about the debt rock owes to the classics." School Library Journal called it "stunning" and "A Favorite Book Read in 2010."
