The Revelations of Madame X

Description

True Stories and Historical Events From The Past to The Present In 2012, Gabriel and Maggie entered a self-imposed exile, fleeing the United States for France. Their plans to marry in Gabriel’s homeland take an unexpected twist when Gabriel discovers that he was born under the controversial French law Accouchement Sous X (Anonymous Childbirth Under Madame X). In search of his birth origins, Gabriel becomes engulfed in a game of cat-and-mouse with Camille, the woman he had always known unquestionably as his mother. Embarking on an odyssey sparked by a mystery to solve, Gabriel and Maggie retrace the footsteps of the Delacroix and Bertrand families, their lives intertwined by scandal, deceit, and decadence beginning in WWII under Nazi occupation and the Vichy regime. Intersecting with their own lives, Gabriel and Maggie become swept up in the terror attacks in France, the European migration crisis of 2015, and Brexit in their search for truth, justice, and closure. Riveting, thought-provoking, and timely, The Revelations of Madame X is a dramatic three-generational family saga and an extraordinary love story that reminds us of our history, the Holocaust, and the extremes of what we, as human beings, are truly capable of. —- ISBN: 9798218402303
