Set against the backdrop of the Paris Uprising of 1832, âThe She-Wolves of Machecoulâ is dripping with political intrigue, sinister plots, and knuckle-cracking villains.
However, at its heart, the story is a romantic one, focusing on the fortunes of the eponymous she-wolves, Mary and Bertha.
While the plot to establish a new monarch unfolds, Mary and Bertha are both smitten with Baron Michel Logerie.
But is the Baron all that he seems, or does he have ulterior motives?
Filled with thrills, secrets, and historical detail, ĖThe She-Wolves of Machecoul Ė is a superb adventure story, which will surely delight fans of Dumas' other works.
Alexandre Dumas (1802 â 1870) was one of the most popular French authors and playwrights of the 19th Century. After the death of his father, Dumas travelled to Paris where he eventually decided to work in the theatre. He first came to public attention at the age of 27 with his first play, âKing Henry III and his Courts.â After a succession of successful stage plays, Dumas turned his hand to writing novels. Many of these were serialised in newspapers, such as âLa Comtesse de Salisbury; Ãdouard III,â and âLe Capitaine Paul.â Many of Dumasâ later works have been hailed as timeless classics and adapted for television and the silver screen, such as âThe Three Musketeersâ, starring âLord of the Ringsâ Ė Orlando Bloom, and âThe Count of Monte Cristoâ, starring âSupermanâ star, Henry Cavill.
