The Knight of Maison-Rouge

The Marie Antoinette Romances

By: Alexandre Dumas

Narrated by: Simon Vance

The Knight of Maison Rouge is the story of what happens when two people from opposite political camps fall in love during Robespierre's reign of terror.

Paris, 1793. Lieutenant Maurice Lindey is an ardent young republican who hates tyranny and injustice whether they come from the left or right. But such even-handedness is a liability at a time when addressing someone as "monsieur" instead of "citizen" can bring one to the guillotine.

Maurice makes daily visits to his love, Genevieve Dixmer, who lives in a quarter known as the hiding place of the Chevalier of Maison Rouge, a daring counterrevolutionary with notorious plans to free Marie Antoinette, who languishes in prison awaiting trial and inevitable execution. Soon Lindey is drawn in to the plot by the queen's champion.

Hi powered fast paced

I am beginning to love Alexandre Dumas.

The man was skilled and sensitive as well as being business smart.

Simon Vance is a rare jewel!

A really great book

A wonderful rendition of a timeless classic. The author is great and I highly recommend this book.

This book has treachery, espionage, and action.

Dumas is one of my favorite classic writes, you see the political up raising and the treachery of time, in his novels. This book doesn't hold back any of the drama people had to deal with, whether they were of lower or upper class.
