Title: Disappointing
Review: This book takes three main characters involved in the French Revolution and follows them from boyhood through to the Revolution and the ghastly time of the Terror. On the whole Mantel does this convincingly and with great empathy, relating the characters' interior monologues and intrigues, as well as providing a more omniscient interpretation. However for me the novel didn't really work beyond the first 500 pages (it is very long, at approx pages). We lose track of the multitude of characters as the author become more and more involved in writing a history of the period, and less and less involved in making a novel that engages and carries forward the reader. In the end, I gave up at around page 600.
