The Angel of Assassination: Charlotte Corday
In 1793, as the French Revolution devoured its own children, a young Norman aristocrat made a choice that would echo through history. Charlotte Corday, educated in the philosophical ideals of the Enlightenment at a convent school, watched in horror as radical journalist Jean-Paul Marat's inflammatory writings fueled the bloodbath consuming France.
Convinced that one man's death could prevent civil war and save thousands of lives, the twenty-four-year-old woman traveled to Paris with a single purpose: to silence the voice that called daily for more executions, more terror, more blood. Armed only with a kitchen knife and unwavering conviction, she gained entry to Marat's apartment and struck the fatal blow that would make her either a heroine or a monster-depending on one's perspective.
Told in Charlotte's own voice, this gripping historical novel follows her journey from sheltered convent student to political assassin, from her comfortable childhood in Normandy through her final moments on the scaffold. Unrepentant to the end, Charlotte Corday believed she was sacrificing her life and soul to save France from itself.
History remembers her as the Angel of Assassination-a woman who killed in the name of peace and died without regret for the choice that defined her brief, dramatic life.
