"Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums there is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!" ("Do you Hear the People Sing" //Les Miserables // )

For this book, we will be a series of blog postings to follow the character and theme development. Please check my blog for topic information.

Songs from the musical //Les Miserables//: ** Check here  for the lyrics.
