Orphans of the Storm

"Orphans of the Storm" by Henry MacMahon tells the tale of two orphaned sisters, Henriette and Louise Girard, who undergo great hardship amidst the chaos of the French Revolution. With the hope of a brighter future in Paris, especially for Louise, who is blind, the sisters’ lives take a turn when they confront a cruel fate in a society nearing all-out panic. Themes of sisterly love and painful sacrifice will be unearthed as they face grave danger and injustice. The novel, set against the backdrop of old Europe, paints a picture of oppression, where one sister is in danger of being taken away, and the other is alone and vulnerable, testing their fortitude during one of the most intense eras in history.
