Here we find Madame Tussaud-then Mademoiselle Grosholtz-at the beginning of an illustrious career as a maker of wax models, all the rage of an aristocracy that, to judge by some of the scenes Moran unfolds, quite deserves to be put up against the wall.
All that had to have started somewhere, and that’s where Moran’s ( Nefertiti, 2007) tale comes in, adding dimension and emotion to the known historical facts. In late 2010, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London installed its newest exhibit: a wax effigy of Lady Gaga. Well-plotted if sometimes slow-moving novel of the French Revolution and one now-famous survivor of that heady (or, perhaps, be-heady) time.
