Kate Mosse is an international bestselling author with sales of more than five million copies in 42 languages.
En su destino se cruza Piet Reydon, un hugonote perseguido por sus ideas y que custodia un codiciado tesoro al que su mayor enemigo (y anteriormente mejor amigo) quiere atrapar. The pages that head each part are adorned with photos that compliment the setting of the next section, a nice touch that firmly gives the reader a sense of time and place. For further information about your statutory rights, contact your local authority Trading Standards department or consumer advice center (for example the Citizen's Advice Bureau if you are in the UK). I particularly enjoyed the delicate way the seperate stories of Minou and Piet converged in a subtle way to a great climactic ending.The mystery itself and the romance work quite well, but the strength of this book is Mosse’s extensive knowledge and evocative description of the beautiful region in which it is set and the intricacies of the religious problem. As usual it’s Mosse’s apparent passion for this period of history that shines through here, with vivid descriptions of an extremely volatile time in French history.
Even my sleep was bookended with it, reading late into the night and waking up to read more over breakfast. But most of all this about Religion started with war on 1st March 1562 with Massacre of unarmed Huguenots in Vassy by The Catholic forces of Francis Duke of Guise this religion at its worst.
It was sweet, but seemed QUITE unfounded…however, ignoring that little issue, the last quarter of the book really picked up the pace and made me MUCH more invested in the characters and their story, as everyone actually came together instead of being scattered all across the map. In 1891, seventeen-year-old Leonie Vernier, having fled Paris for the sanctuary of her aunt's house near Carcassonne, soon stumbles across a ruined sepulchre and a mystery whose traces are written in blood.
Una novela que se adentra en temas como la familia, el amor, la religión, la venganza, la traición, el poder, el secretismo y el perdón. There's a World of books to choose from such as: Children's Books, Range includes Baby Books (0-3), Books for Toddlers (3-5), Early Readers (5-7), Childrens Story books (7-11), Young Teens (11-14), Young Adults (14-16) and Childrens Educational Books. Here she takes us back to France's Wars of Religion and the harrowing blood letting that took place in that historical time period, bringing back echoes of my studies of these events in European History long ago when the established Catholic Church was determined that no Huguenots should remain in the country. Neighbours have become enemies, countless lives have been lost, and the country has been torn apart over matters of religion, citizenship and sovereignty.
This is a story of mystery, conspiracy, betrayal, love, and family secrets amidst the most turbulent of times.
