Hi, People!:

                             I'm very interested in this book. I wish I could afford it, since it's not translated into Spanish and, even if I can find it in the web (Amazon, Ebay and all) its price in dollars or Euros it's to expensive for me. Since our peso was devaluated, it costs three times its price.

                                 But I'm not writing here to complain, but wanting to know if someone had actually read "Mistress of The Revolution" and if it is worth to purchase it. I read some interviews  to its authoress, Catherine Delors at the net, and it seems it's an interestin work. Of course, it's a novel, but good novels are as good as History books, I think.

                                    My main interest in "Mistress of the Revolution" is that one of its principal characters is Coffinhal, the man who attacked Hanriot and threw it to a common sewer, accusing him of cowardice the night of 9-10 Thermidor. I should want to know if Hanriot is present in the book and if the authoress shows him under a favorable point of view, or, if  as ever, he is depicted as a drunkard and a wild person. 

                                       I've read that for her, Coffinhal is quite a possitive character in the book...A thing I didn't like, LOL...
