To Live Out Loud

I'm not a big history buff, nor am I that experienced with historical fiction. That being said, I really enjoyed this book and hope that author Paulette Mahurin continues offering us glimpses into the unknown stories of history.

I don't think I've ever read an historical novel that seemed less like a novel than To Live Out Loud by Paulette Mahurin. What this talented author has done has taken the famous J'Accuse letter of Emile Zola's to the President of France, in the late nineteenth century and woven a fictional account of his life during this period.

An amazingly powerful book. Knowing only small tidbits about Emile Zola and the Dreyfus affair, I was still drawn into this piece of work by Paulette Mahurin.
