A Family of Brigands in 1793 Paperback

The narrative is overall sad, but the story is just so unforgettable and I couldn't hardly put the book down.

What an amazing life and so well-told!

Absolutely wonderful book! I loved everything about it and couldn't put it down, especially towards the end. The fact that this family went through so much and was still so strong in their faith is such a testament of hope and love of God. Absolutely beautiful and I hope they are all together again, enjoying their eternal reward for all their sufferings on earth. Get this book - you won't be disappointed!

I read this book believing it was a true story. It was such a beautiful, sad, inspiring story that I had a hard time putting it down to do my daily duties. I mentioned the book to a priest (who is able to translate French to English) who also read it, and he told he researched and verified that this book was fiction and that the author (Rev. Fr. Jean Charruau, S.J.) was a priest who had written other books in a similar style, where the reader is led to believe that the story is written by a character in the book. Rev. Fr. Jean Charruau wrote his books in French, so I am unable to verify his writing style. There is one title translated to English entitled “Brother and Sister” which I hope to purchase in order to have the pleasure of reading another book written by this fine, talented author! “A Family of Brigands in 1793” has left a lasting impression on my mind of the power of love, prayer, charity, sacrifice, forgiveness and suffering.
If there really was a Marie de Sainte-Hermine who eye witnessed or participated in the events that were written about in this book, I hope to meet her in Heaven.

Great book about an important Catholic and world event
