Gardner, Sally - The Red Necklace : 384 pages, © 2008
Late 18th Century, France, England
Two young people--a marquis' daughter (Sido) and a street magician's assistant (Yann)--are drawn together by a chance encounter that will affect them for years to come. As the Revolution descends on France, they fight for survival, not just from the angry mobs, but from the mysterious Count Kalliovski, who's dark objectives rely on both of them.
Red Flags:
Graphic gore/violence associeted with the Reign of Terror; pre- and extra-maritial affairs occur off-stage; murders occur mostly off-stage; characters are shot or wounded; one character is driven insane, and begins to see spirits and ghosts, in very eerie passages.
