The Devil's Laughter is a 1953 historical adventure novel by the American writer Frank Yerby.[1] One reviewer described it as having "more dazzle than depth".[2] It is set in Europe of the late eighteenth century in contrast to Yerby's more usual setting of nineteenth century America.
Synopsis
Jean Paul Marin, the son of a wealthy merchant father is committed to combating the injustices of French aristocracy and monarchy and becomes a leader of the developing French Revolution. He also becomes romantically involved with three very different women.
