Hope in the year two ; and, Thatcher's children

"Hope in the Year Two takes place in Paris at the height of the Great Terror in 1794, on the eve of the execution of Georges Jacques Danton, the most charismatic figure in French Revolutionary history and at the same time one of the most enigmatic." ... "Thatcher's Children follows the lives of seven young people from their primary school days in the early 1970s to the turn of the twenty-first century, charting their personal journeys through the Thatcher years and the wastelands beyond, and their attempts to keep their hopes alive in an increasingly hostile society."--Back cover.
