From my books review blog, [...]: >Set in pre-victorian Europe, a young woman, Sophie Volland, witnesses her mother's execution as a child, over accusations of witchcraft, love and betrayal.
As I read the previous reviews, I decided not to explain what the book was all about. That was already done.
In this historical thriller by Peter Prange, Sophie is a young girl betrayed by her neighbors and the church at an early age, suffering through tragedy and religious persecution. In the wake of that betrayal, Sophie moves to Paris and, years later (in the mid-1700s), is working as a waitress at Café Procope, a cafe where many radical philosophers and "freethinkers" meet and confer.
