When Annie, just beginning to heal from a near-fatal crash, sets off for a conference in France, she has no idea that this will be the catalyst for a dramatic journey. It starts out innocently a late summer party on a Devon riverbank, a full moon. But two things happen as a result of that Annie's husband is killed, and the 'accident' jolts her into a 700-year-old 'memory' that will take her to the Pyrenees and the inferno at the heart of the Cathar inquisition, into a turbulent love affair, and towards another encounter with death.
I read this whilst in France and LOVED this dual timeline story set in the Cathars period, tapping into the history of all that occurred. Very evocative and well written. I was thoroughly immersed and found it all the more enjoyable as I've been to the locations a few times and found them very powerful and moving.
If you enjoyed Labyrinth by Kate Mosse you will also enjoy.
