In our time on Facts Nude, we welcome author, Shana Galen. Flipside, I posted my review of her brand new, "The Making of a Duchess."I never think I'll brag to do any research what I begin a brand new. I've published five novels set in Regency England and written a lot of broaden. One would think I encounter all donate is to encounter. And that's what I love about being an author. One time I conscript a book, I learn everything new."In The Making of a Duchess", Julien Harcourt, duc de Val'ere, is a French 'emigr'e support in London. He fled Extreme France at the age of 13 with his English mother. His beginning was sent to the behead, and Julien doesn't encounter what happened to his comparison younger brothers. He's made it his life's work to find them.Julien is pleasantly. His mother is English, and her family is logically gorgeous. Time was they fled France, he had wherever to go and a way to shore up. New members of the French upper class were not so fortunate. Those who saw trouble coming may brag been able to send an e-mail to funds to England, anywhere their assets would be grasp. But others minor absconder with their lives. They were inevitable to make jobs as French tutors and the like in order to shore up.If you've read "A Yarn of Two Cities," you rule memory this is how Charles Darnay makes his support. You rule also memory Darnay is accused of deceitfulness. My hero Julien is suspected of deceitfulness as well. He's made a lot of trips back to France in search of his gone brothers, and his president to an opponent nation has raised the eyebrows of the British Odd Wing. They send an e-mail to a woman, Sarah, to spy on him, and here's anywhere the book begins.As I was writing, I researched the British legal system. I wanted to encounter what punishment Julien would be earlier than if construct to blame of deceitfulness.It wasn't nice-looking. Traitors were tried at the Old Bailey and furthermore hung, steady, and quartered. Remember that confrontation at the end of "Braveheart" anywhere Mel Gibson as William Wallace is hung, steady, and quartered? Well, you don't see all of it, and that's a good question.Traitors were hung until near dead, cut down, and furthermore disemboweled (that's the steady part). Their bodies were furthermore cut into four residence and put on mull over. Pleasing to the eye gruesome and restrained to a certain extent barbaric by Regency times.So that's the punishment Julien is earlier than. And if Sarah finds evidence of any treachery, he stands small coincidence of evading such a punishment. The British rule brag a skillfully proper legal system, but in my research I revealed, barristers were not second paying people to lie. That's right. Men rule make a support from role fool inform. Charles Dickens writes a very witty confrontation in "A Yarn of Two Cities", anywhere the fool witnesses against Charles Darnay are made to look fools by Stryver and Sydney Small package.You'll brag to read the book to see how Julien escapes this very real danger.
