The year is 1789. France is reeling under the impact of a civil war between its social classes. When a secret agent from Rome joins forces with a vindictive politician bent on revenge, the stage is set for an explosive outcome that will shake the country to its core.
Meanwhile, Queen Marie-Antoinette engages the help of her lady-in-waiting, Viviane de Lussan, in a desperate battle to keep her throne... and her head. But how can she win a struggle she seems fated to lose?
Amid the chaos of the revolution, Viviane's heart is torn between a nobleman who sacrifices everything for her and a peasant who promises true freedom.
Bride Tree, an allegory of the Church set during the French Revolution, is saturated with suspense and lavish detail. Combining elements of alternative history with dramatic intrigue, Bride Tree is a romantic thriller that will grab you by the heart and never let go.
"I found Bride Tree by J.P. Robinson to be a fascinating historical story. I will never view France’s history the same way as the author forms an intriguing plot about their lives. The multiple characters give this novel depth and variety from many walks of life."—Readers Favorite
Book Takeaway:
Bride Tree is an allegory on many levels. Spiritually, it's an allegory of the Church. But it also presents a message that is relevant to the women of the Christian church. In short, that message is this: beauty and appeal are surface deep. Relationships built upon these principles ensnare while relationships founded upon truth (God's word) are lasting and provide true fulfillment.
Why the author wrote this book:
Contemporary society bombards women of all ages with the message that beauty and appeal are the keys to success, creating a world in which many seek to be what they are not. Bride Tree is a bold message that addresses this problem while presenting an alternative, challenging the reader to go beyond the superficial and "unmask the truth."
