Several things in this book surprise me. One is that Juliette is NO child, she is 24 and a grow woman who has been in revolutionary France on her own with her old nurse for the past 4-5 years. Also the portrayal of Merlin as an ugly vicious creature full of dirt and ragged. He was in reality a very handsome man, extremely so. And not nearly as vicious as portrayed. He retired from politics not long after, at the beginning of the Consulate and lived in retirement to a ripe old age.
