I've got an 80's book but it's second-hand and stinks of tobacco smoke so I'm waiting a bit before I limp through it with my crap French (what's french for 'bisexual'?). There's a comment on Amazon that Claretie had Lucile's socks...(fanboy!) and is very - 'oh, camille, how could you write this violent stuff ?-oh, i can hardly bear it - but i must record it' - which I actually really like!

I'm surprised Ruth Scurr didn't even touch on issues of sexuality in her recent book (she took the idea that Robespierre had a mistress and ran with that, even though she herself said the source was dodgy!)
