描述
In the tumultuous climate of 1792 France, Isabelle finds her once privileged life spiraling into chaos as revolution grips the nation. As the daughter of an aristocrat, she inhabits a chateau that now serves as a stark reminder of the rapidly changing societal landscape. With the Revolution igniting fierce sentiments of liberty and equality, Isabelle becomes increasingly aware of her family's precarious position. Surrounded by the mounting tension between the aristocracy and the revolutionaries, her sheltered existence is shattered, forcing her to navigate the complexities of loyalty, duty, and personal conviction.
As the years unfold, Isabelle's journey transforms her from a naive girl into a keen observer of the harsh realities that threaten to upend her world. Each diary entry captures not only the external turmoil but also her internal struggles, reflecting her evolving understanding of freedom and justice. Against the backdrop of guillotines and political upheaval, she grapples with her identity and what it means to fight for a cause she begins to hold dear.
