The Reaping

'The Reaping' is a novel in the drama genre written by Rafael Sabatini. There is no modern writer who can conjure up historical pictures of the past more vividly, truly and realistically than Mr. Rafael Sabatini. And in this dramatic story of Citizen Soldier Jerome Vidal, his wife Angèle and M. de Seyrac, along with glimpses of Danton and Robespierre, he proves the truth of this assertion. When you lay down the book you will feel that you have loitered in the rue Vaugirard, wandered down the rue St. Honoré and made one of the crowds in the Hall at the Tuileries, not in the twenty-first century but in the eighteenth.
