They lived happily and could have a baby and it seemd that happiness will never end... Although, because of French revolution, the guy had needed to go back France and terrible ending waited to him.
3. I would not recommend this book, because it was a bit complicated because of too many charactres. Although, the story was interesting, so if you have a confidence that you are good at memorizing people's names, I would recommend this book! I better keep reading level four to five.
