The first scene takes place in Paris, where we are introduced to a group of aristocrats who are struggling to come to terms with the changes that are taking place in their country. As the revolution gains momentum, they find themselves increasingly isolated and vulnerable.In subsequent scenes, we follow the fortunes of a number of different characters, including a young revolutionary who becomes disillusioned with the violence of the revolution, a group of peasants who rise up against their feudal lords, and a group of English tourists who witness the chaos and violence of the revolution first-hand.Throughout the novel, Hill explores the complex political and social forces that drove the revolution, as well as the human cost of the violence and upheaval that it unleashed.
