BROOKLYN: Andi Alpers is on the edge. She’s angry at her father for leaving, angry at her mother for not being able to cope, and heartbroken by the loss of her younger brother, Truman. Rage and grief are destroying her. And she’s about to be expelled from Brooklyn Heights’ most prestigious private school when her father intervenes. Now Andi must accompany him to Paris for winter break.

PARIS: Alexandrine Paradis lived over two centuries ago. She dreamed of making her mark on the Paris stage, but a fateful encounter with a doomed prince of France cast her in a tragic role she didn’t want—and couldn’t escape.

Two girls, two centuries apart. One never knowing the other. But when Andi finds Alexandrine’s diary, she recognizes something in her words and is moved to the point of obsession. There’s comfort and distraction for Andi in the journal’s antique pages—until, on a midnight journey through the catacombs of Paris, Alexandrine’s words transcend paper and time, and the past becomes suddenly, terrifyingly present.

Jennifer Donnelly, author of the award-winning novel A Northern Light, artfully weaves two girls’ stories into one unforgettable account of life, loss, and enduring love. Revolution spans centuries and vividly depicts the eternal struggles of the human heart.

The Revolution was a great story. The way Jennifer Donnelly draws me in to her stories is amazing. I never had any interest in the French Revolution but I enjoyed this book so much.

I loved the changing of accents and the genuine heartfelt reading of this book. There were a few times as I listened that the readers voice cracked and went soft as intended by the writer. And the general teen angst was so felt in her voice, the frustration, the confusion, the insecurity, the pain. I usually hate every audiobook that I’ve tried to listen to but this one immediately caught my attention and now I wish every audio book I ever listen to could be narrated by these women. I have also NEVER read this genre (hence why I didn’t give it a 5 star for story, I don’t feel like I can accurately judge this, I wanted to give it 5 stars though!) but I needed to for a book club I’m in and I am SOO happy I had this audio book to listen to because I don’t think the book itself could have held my interest in the same way the characters were expressed through listening to these two read it to me. Thank you so much for bringing this book to life for me! <3

The voice acting in this was so much more than I expected. I wish every book could be read to me by these ladies!

Stick with it.
