Not really sure if I will read it, but I agree, French revolution is a period that is quite fascinating, and I wonder the same.. how did people live in those times. This one sounds interesting.

It is strange that it wasn't just fiction to me, but also included commentary on modern capital punishment. I heard that the doctor was miserable for the rest of his life, seeing the horrors his invention was part of- he had invented the guillotine to be more humane, ironically.
