What if the veils between places and people are thinner than we think? And maybe the past and the present are not separate and self-contained, but rather interwoven. Might this mean that through the one we can redeem the other?
For Annie, it starts out innocently enough: a late summer party on a Devon riverbank, a full moon. But two things happen as a result of that night – her husband is killed, and the accident, which leaves Annie badly injured, 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; and 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.
