Description

Delphine Vimond's life has been forever changed by her father's violent arrest and the subsequent burning of his library. Ten years have passed since she last saw him, but the memories remain. When Delphine takes refuge in the city as a housekeeper for Monsieur Diderot, her settled life is disrupted once again by the arrival of Chancery Smith, a printer's apprentice sent from London to track down a mysterious author. The possession of revolutionary papers marked with the initial D could prove fatal, and Delphine soon finds herself pursued by the brutal French censor, Henri Gilbert. As they embark on a frantic search across the country, Delphine and Chancery must navigate treacherous landscapes and evade capture to stay one step ahead of their pursuers. Their perilous journey raises questions about freedom of speech, censorship, and the power of words in shaping our world.
