Perils of a French Family

Was hoping for a history but got a plot for a Saturday matinee cliff hanger. Could anything else happen to this family?

Like the storyline

The narrator wasn't that interesting to listen to. I felt many characters, especially the males had the same tonal qualities in their voice.

Enjoyable historical fiction

At first I didn't know if I would enjoy the books. But as I got to know the characters and the story progressed, I enjoyed it. I judge everything against the outlander series so it is difficult for me to say this was excellent. However it does deserve 5 stars.

How one ruler’s selfish desires upset the lives of so many and turned neighbor against neighbor.

I remember as a youth the first time I saw a genealogy of my father’s family. It was headed by Henri Girard, Bordeaux, France - a Huguenot. That is when my quest to know more about the Huguenots began. Although this story is fiction, it has allowed me to picture what easily could have been my own ancestors dilemma when faced with the most difficult decisions. I see the same strength of character, faith, and sense of citizenship in my ancestors as are depicted in the Depeche family. We’ll written story.
