Revolution

Revolution is a novel about the life of a girl, Andi, who's suffering the result of her brother's death. She's on medication and she has very few friends. Her successful father left her and her mother in their run-down mansion. As her mother loses her mind, so does she. Andi, a senior in high school, doesn't plan on writing her thesis, but her father's return changes that as she goes to Paris for winter break. In Paris, her life changes as she finds a diary about another girl's hardships during the French Revolution. I loved this book and I loved how Andi's romance and family life evolved.

Revolution, by Jennifer Donnelly, is a book about a girl who has been going through many tragedies and because she stops doing well in school her dad takes her to Paris to get her work straight. In Paris, she find a diary of a girl who lived during the French Revolution. This book is very interesting and keeps your attention the whole time. It is great for those who like history particularly the French Revolution because part of it takes place during that time, but it is still good for those not into history because it is about a modern day girl too.
