Garden City, NY: Doubleday, (1977.) dj. Hardcover - Novel of romantic suspense, set during the time of the French Revolution, by this prolific and deservedly popular author. Antonia Byatt felt that HibbertÕs appeal lay in the fact that 'she possessed sufficient imagination to create a world for the reader, and not enough to ruin it with the complications and ambiguities which plague real life: the ideal formula for escapist reading.'
