A Refuge Assured



***1/2

Possibly Recommend With Explanation

That really is a lot of strikes against this book just viewing my ratings but it wasn't as bad as they may suggest.
There truly were many uncomfortable moments and many of them were related to the backstory and subject matter.
The main character's mother was a prostitute of sorts and that plays into the first quarter of the book quite a bit.  This takes place during the French Revolution and there are a couple of graphic scenes connected with that.
It was a really interesting historical fiction novel and I was fascinated by one of the author's notes at the end concerning the fate of one of the royal family members.
