The Scarlet Pimpernel

Connor recommended The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. It takes place during the French Revolution and is the story of a group of Englishmen (including their leader, the Scarlet Pimpernel) who secretly work to save French aristocrats from the guillotine. The book follows Marguerite, who must decide where her loyalties lie, and follows the mystery of who is the Scarlet Pimpernel.

This was a fun book to read. I had to adjust to the language at first (since I don't usually read classic literature written back in the day). I really liked the story line and the details put into the book.

Rating: * * (2/3 = Liked it)
