Blood, Sex and Money by Emile Zola: Series 3 Money
Apocalypse by Martin Jameson
The forces of Blood, Sex and Money come to violent fruition in the author’s visceral exploration of the Franco Prussian War. Precipitated in the corridors of power, the war is for ordinary men to fight. Land worker Jean Macquart returns to the army where he makes an unlikely emotional connection with a young soldier under his command. Meanwhile, his Grandmother is on the brink of escape from the asylum at Tulettes.
