Annette Vallon: a novel of the French Revolution by James Tipton

Recommended by Danielle

FIC Tipton

Annette Vallon was the mistress of poet William Wordsworth during the French Revolution. William was exiled in England because outsiders were regarded as spies. Annette was left alone to raise their daughter and secretly aide men, women and children who were being unjustly executed. This amazing story is a testament of the bravery and compassion of one of France's heroines during such unsettled times.
