Product description
From the Back Cover
Paris, 1789, and Sophie Luttrell, gently bred and beautiful, arrives in France to stay with her cousin, Heloise de Guinot and share her life of privilege and gaiety. But France is on the brink of revolution and both girls, together with Heloise’s maid, Marie-Victoire, are swept into the maelstrom of hatred and vengeance. And yet there is time still for passion, for love … In 'Daughters of the Storm' Elizabeth Buchan draws the listener in with a compelling mixture of history, romance – and tragedy.
“A powerful tale of drama, romance and tragedy”

Not great
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2014Verified Purchase
I have enjoyed a number of other novels by Elizabeth Buchan, but I have to say I was very disappointed with this one. I think she's trying a bit too hard for effect. I've given it 3 stars partly because it was so cheap, and for that it could just about be considered OK as holiday reading. What really annoyed me are the number of typos. They are everywhere and of all types, I suppose this may be because the price is so low, and some of them are quite funny.... I particularly enjoyed a sentence about 'Fat' taking a hand (should be Fate I think!)

Haunting and brilliant
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2014Verified Purchase
Words cannot describe the horror of the French Revolution but Buchan succeeds in conveying the terror and violence of the
Period in a way I've not come across. Here is the story of how the aristocracy lived during the Reign of Terror. It's truly horrific and with a blow by blow account interspersed within the story you feel as if you're there experiencing all of the terror and bloodshed. I've never really thought of how this time affected the ruling classes, it's easy to sympathise with the downtrodden and hungry poor. This book sheds a light on how awful it was for people who didn't do anything wrong but were born into the wrong family. A truly haunting novel and well worth a read.

Too many typos
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2014Verified Purchase
Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the characters and the plot as a whole I couldn't stand the amount of typos. To say there were hundreds is probably an understatement. At times I had a read a sentence two or three times to get the gist of what the writer was trying to say. Is English her first language I wonder? Did anyone proof read this? If so they should get the sack. So in spite of enjoying the story it doesn't deserve anything more than 2 stars. Such a shame, with more care it would have been 4.

Daughters if the Storm
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2018Verified Purchase
Just couldn't get into the book, not for me, found characters stereotypical. Must admit I didn't get very far, before giving up.
I dont generally read 'romance' novels, however had read the New Mrs Clifton by the same author which I had quite enjoyed, so thought would give it a try.

Better proof reading needed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2014Verified Purchase
Sadly I can only agree with many of the other reviewers who found the book riddled with typo errors. I ended up concentrating on them instead of the story - which was interesting but not all that brilliant. Some of the mistakes were hilarious, many sentences needed to be read over again to make sense of them.I have read and enjoyed several of Elizabeth Buchan's other books but I think there are many other authors whose historical fiction is of a better quality.
