About this audiobook

As a young child Eponine never knew kindness, except once from her family's kitchen slave, Cosette. When at sixteen the girls' paths cross again and their circumstances are reversed, Eponine must decide what that friendship is worth, even though they've both fallen for the same boy. In the end, Eponine will sacrifice everything to keep true love alive.

    I have been a fan of "Les Miserables" (in all its formats - book, film, musical) for a long time and have always found Eponine a sweet but tragic character, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. It has taken a while, but it was certainly worth the wait. Susan Fletcher has done a masterful job creating Eponine's back story as well as staying true to the original book. I loved Eponine from the start. She was a delightful character with such a sweet, caring nature despite being raised by hateful parents to lie and steal. From an early age all Eponine wanted was to be loved by someone and love someone in return - my heart bled for her. Fletcher has also created the hardships, sights, restlessness and smells of 19th century France to perfection. I loved travelling through Paris and other parts of France with Eponine. This is a touching, poignant and beautifully written book that will enthrall lovers, both young and old, of Victor Hugo's classic, and give a new insight into one of its beloved characters. A wonderful read!

    I got a copy of this book to review through the Amazon Vine program. This was a well done retelling of Eponine's story from Les Mis. This was a sweet story set in a harsh time. For those of you who already know the story of Les Mis you know that this is also a tragedy.Those who are familiar with the story or musical of Les Mis already know the story. Eponine is the daughter of an innkeeper and his wife, both of whom make their living by preying on and thieving from others. At a young age the young Cosette comes to live with Eponine’s family and Eponine is forced to treat Cosette as a slave in order to garner her parents’ good will. As time goes on Cosette goes to live elsewhere and Eponine’s family falls deeper into poverty. Eponine’s only times of happiness are those spent either in the company of or watching Marius.This story was well written and a quick read. I would think of it as a light young adult retelling of Les Mis. Fletcher does an excellent job of portraying poverty of the time but never gets too gritty about it.I think my favorite part of the book was how Eponine was portrayed. Fletcher really did an excellent job of showing Eponine's unique ability to find beauty and hope in the darkest circumstances. This made Eponine a very hopeful and engaging character in an otherwise dark and tragic story.The story does focus mostly on Eponine’s obsession with (and honestly stalker like behavior toward) Marius. So keep that in mind if you are picking up this book, it definitely has a more YA romance focus than anything else.Overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend to those who enjoy historical fiction and/or the Les Mis story. It was a fairly light read and focuses more on Eponine’s love for Marius than anything else. I did really enjoy how Eponine’s character is portrayed with the wonderful ability to find beauty in the darkest of circumstances.
