Rate this book
She can see the future, but can she change it?
It is the early days of the French Revolution and, on the streets of Paris, terror reigns.
Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand is a young woman with an extraordinary power - through her tarot cards, she can commune with the dead. Her reputation is such that revolutionaries and the aristocracy alike seek her out to divine their fortunes, though she is loyal to Marie Antoinette and the dauphin of France. But Lenormand has seen the queen's fate in the cards, and must take care that it doesn't become her own.
Then, one fateful day, she comes across Cait, a scullery maid from Ireland who has travelled to Paris for love. Cait has powers too - she can read people's pasts as Lenormand reads their futures. The two young women have an instant connection, drawn to each other's abilities. But Cait is hiding something from her new as much as she loves Lenormand, she loves freedom and her country more. What will she do - and who will she betray - to bring revolution to the shores of Ireland?
Set against the background of the French Revolution and the Great Rebellion in Ireland and entwining dark folklore with tarot mysticism, this is a novel of fate and free will, where allegiances and romances can be forged or broken by the turn of a card.

Did I like it? Yes. But did I love it? Also mostly yes. I love historical fiction and tarot inspired stories and this one is truly magical. It is feminist, it is about revenge, it is even partially true! To me both women are equally important, the sun and the moon, and every man is mostly irrelevant. Two fates, two POVs, ghosts, destiny, revolution.

The horrors of the Revolution were really overshadowed by one woman who lost her mind every time a stupid man reached between her legs.

The first half of this story was the strongest for me. Showing both Lenormand and Caitlin's origins in France and Ireland and how they established themselves in Paris was really interesting, and gave me strong V.E. Schwab vibes in the writing style.

The second half was such a slog. Although Lenormand was a strangely uninteresting character, I appreciated that she stuck to her beliefs. In comparison, Caitlin seemed to be constantly flip flopping as to what she actually wanted, and I really hate woman who lose themselves over average men.

It’s a Lucy book and I did a very Lucy thing by finishing it in Paris on the 14th July.

This novel had everything in place for me to love it. Historical fiction, tarots, intriguing period. But nope.

I knew nothing about Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand as a real historical figure until I read the author's note at the end. It explains why the chapters from Lenormand's point of view are quite dry and detached, bringing out only further disinterest on the character. Lenormand appears as a bitter, stiff, lone woman who is blind with her own convictions.

The fact that the novel is named after her got me confused as she really is just the background character compared to Caitlin, the completely fictional character who shows depth and richness in her chapters told in first person.

This fragmented storytelling is the base of a mediocre structure, where the love triangle isn't effective and quite boring too. Despite the many attempts of convincing us that Caitlin's devotion is torn between Reilly and Lenormand, I can't feel any love is felt for either but rather lust, which is also very badly described.

Speaking of descriptions, the writing style is not my cup of tea. It's quite heavy on unnecessary digressions and forced on a dated tone of voice that doesn't add anything to Caitlin's depiction.

Feminism seems to overboard into something the author wants to add at all costs and sounds forced on the story.

On the positive side, I didn't know French Revolution was entwined with the Irish one, so I have now found a new curiosity to satisfy towards this specific historical period. Also, the Tarot reading guides were a nice distraction from the rest of the story, which I struggled to follow at times.

Discover the locations in the novel here



I loved the Witches of Vardo by this author so this was a sure fire read for me. Oh boy was I not disappointed! What author do you know who can take the French Revolution and the Irish rebellion and make them interesting, exciting and the people who lived through them, alluring?

There’s a lot of detail here, especially at the start so you do have to concentrate a bit but it is SO worth it. There’s timelines and POVs vying for your attention but once they settle in, they are there to guide you and surprise you.

The French Revolution is such an interesting topic and time in history. I thought I knew quite a lot about it (thank you final uni paper!) but this gave fresh air and brought in so many things I hadn’t thought about. I love it when a novel does that. Let’s just say women didn’t get a look in! As for the Irish rebellion, I knew little about this, but again, I had the experience of learning how it affected those who lived through it.

What a reading experience – scene setting is out of this world. Does Anya time travel in real life too?

If that weren’t exciting enough, Anya has cleverly woven in a tale where tarot is at the heart of the royal court and where espionage and danger are just around the corner. Add a bit of sapphic romance and you have the full winning hand.

Girlies and gays, she is the diva and she is the doll.

If you liked Assassin’s Creed, pastels, or the wind as a child, I fear this is your book.

Отдавна не бях чела исторически роман, а и като цяло Великата френска революция (1789 – 1798 г.) е кървав и унищожителен период. Книгата е художествена фикция за живота на мадам Ленорман и нейната известност като гадателка на карти таро. Образът на Кейт не е на реална историческа фигура, а е събирателен символ, олицетворяващ ирландската съпротива срещу английското потисничество.
Сюжетът започва интригуващо с готически препратки към ирландските митове и духовния отвъден свят. Постепенно авторката ни въвлича в ужасите на Революцията, гилотинирането не само на Мария-Антоанета и нейните приближени, но и на всеки, нарочен за враг на републиката. Текстът има феминистка насоченост, акцентирайки върху жените, които се борят срещу мъжкото потисничество. На места се усеща пристрастие при описанието на мъжете като насилници и поробители, но авторката успява да балансира тези внушения.
Героинята Кейт е противоречива и изменчива. Тя притежава дарбата да вижда миналото. Единственото ѝ желание е да освободи Ирландия от англичаните и да извоюва права за жените.
Мадам Ленорман общува с починалите духове от дете и дори манастирът не може да изкорени това от нея. Едва 16-годишна, заминава за Париж, където със своите предсказания спечелва кралския двор и присъства в живота на Мария-Антоанета до самия ѝ край. Предсказва съдбата на Робеспиер, Марат и Сен Жюст. Макар приятелството ѝ с кралицата да не е исторически потвърдено (истинската Ленорман е била покровителствана по-късно от Жозефин Бонапарт), художественият образ е интересен.
Хареса ми как авторката изгражда балансиран образ на кралицата Мария-Антоанета, представена като изкупителна жертва. Озверелите тълпи, подклаждани в омразата си от идеолозите на революцията, се нахвърлят върху нея. Не се наемам да кажа дали е била виновна или не за глада на френския народ, но е била добра майка и е обичала децата си.
Стилът на авторката ме погълна в началото, но впоследствие мистерията отстъпи място на събитията от кървавата революция и на по-силно изразения феминизъм. Въпреки че авторката предава добре атмосферата, на места се забелязват думи, които сякаш не съответстват на историческата епоха. Въпреки това, общо взето балансирано е предала историческите факти с малки изключения, които бяха по-скоро под формата на усещания за истинността на историческия период, отколкото нещо, което мога да цитирам.
Книгата със сигурност ще допадне на тези читатели, които харесват исторически романи с доза мистерия и окултизъм.

What a cracking start to 2026. I went into this book with no expectations and, after a slightly slow beginning, I was tempted to put it down. I’m so glad I didn’t. The intrigue and anticipation quickly pulled me in, and I couldn’t stop reading as I tried to uncover what happened to the Dauphine. I loved that the story weaves in real historical figures from the French Revolution era; while it’s not a history book, it offers a fascinating glimpse into what life may have been like for Royalists at the time.

☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ "Гледачката на таро от Версай", Аня Бергман

☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Мари-Ан Аделаида Ленорман - истинска личност, чиято репутация (къде достоверна, къде украсена) надхвърля въображението на всяко художествено перо - знаменита гадателка, предричала съдбите на личности като Робеспиер, императрица Жозефин, цар Александър I.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Между страниците на "Гледачката на таро от Версай" оживява фикционална версия на нейната фигура, също толкова обгърната от мистика, колкото реалния си прототип.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Бушуващите улици на Париж непосредствено преди Френската революция срещат мадмоазел Ленорман с Кейтлин Молой - млада кухненска прислужница от Ирландия, избягала от родината си, но мечтаеща да я види някой ден свободна от английското потисничество.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Кейт е момиче, което няма рамо, на което да се опре, нито пукната пара в джоба си... но пък има покровителството на кръвожадната келтска богиня Мориган и гадателски способности, по нищо не отстъпващи на тези на Аделаида.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊��� И така, окултната книжарница на Ленорман става дом и на Кейтлин, която се прочува в неспокойния и кървав Париж като Катерина Де Луна. А двете рамо до рамо съветват най-изтъкнатите личности на Франция, включително самата Мария-Антоанета.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Улиците на града на светлината обаче кипят. А гадателките, гостуващи твърде често във Версайския дворец, са в опасност да бъдат застигнати от гнева на тълпите - бедни, премръзнали и жадни за отмъщение.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Лоялността на Ленорман е към кралицата. Лоялността на Кейт е към бунта и родната ѝ Ирландия. И двете обаче са до болка предани и една на друга. На фона на разтърсващите исторически събития, щастливата развръзка изглежда съвършено невъзможна.

☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Сърдя се на исторически книги, които не успяват да ме потопят изцяло в епохата, която описват. На тази обаче нямаше повод да се сърдя - революционен Париж оживя пред мен с целия си кръвожаден блясък, със своите дрипи и разкош, със своите бедни и богати, до един повлечени в безмилостната вихрушка на историята.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ С чаровно семпъл стил на писане Аня Бергман безупречно пресъздава размирни години на Франция и борбата на Ирландия за независимост.

☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ В книгата ми допадна най-вече изключително трезвият поглед върху повратностите от края на 18 век. С прецизна психологическа дисекция се анализира отношението на различните класи към революцията без да се изпада в идеализация на нито една обществена прослойка.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Аристокрацията не е напълно заклеймена, нито напълно оправдана, а това кристализира най-вече в образа на Мария-Антоанета - не откровено злонамерена или нарочно държаща народа си в глад и мизерия, но достатъчно откъсната от реалността и наивно вярваща, че светът е само във временно състояние на безпокойство, а не на прага на тоталната метаморфоза.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Обществените низини на Париж пък са представени от една страна с високо ниво на емпатия, а пред очите на читателите оживяват картини на човешкото страдание чрез образите на бедни майки, боси деца, гладни души, чийто дом е улицата.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ От друга страна обаче безмилостно е пресъздаден и гневът на бунта - доказателство, че в нещастието лесно покълва жаждата за кръв и че дори най-свободолюбивата борба може да се превърне в родилна люлка на нов терор.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ В това отношение е прецизно разкрито и двуличното отношение на революционните водачи към въпроса що е свобода и кой я заслужава - в тяхната представа за "свобода, братство и равенство" отсъстват правата на жените.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Именно два силни женски образа обаче са движеща сила на историята - Аделаида и Кейт са прекрасни дълбоки персонажи, всяка от тях посвоему заслепена от собствените си представи за света, всяка от тях заставена да преосмисли всичко, в което е вярвала.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Отношенията между персонажите, романтичните нишки между Кейт и ирландския революционер Томас Райли, но и искрите, които прехвърчат между нея и Аделаида, са прекрасна илюстрация на това как повратните исторически събития не унищожават любовта, но до голяма степен я белязват с трагизъм.
☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Много силна книга, съчетаваща история и индивидуални преживявания, но и щипка магия чрез образа на картите таро, които предсказват съдбата, но и напомнят, че можем сами да променим бъдещето си, ако имаме силна воля.

Having enjoyed Anya Bergmans writing in The Witches of Vardo, and been intrigued by the synopsis for this novel, I started this ARC with eager anticipation. It should be the sort of novel I would get lost in. Unfortunately on this occasion I did not feel invested in the story, and found the level of description unnecessary. After a slow, and slightly confused start due to the time jumps, I never reached a point where I was rooting for the characters, or felt particularly interested in the outcome (which was rather predictable).

Having said that, this is my personal opinion, and perhaps at another time I'd have enjoyed it more. Seeing other early reviews I know I'm in the minority, and on publication I'm sure others will enjoy this historical fiction story. I am grateful to netgalley, publisher and author for the oppurtunity to read this ARC.

4.5 ⭐️

Rivoluzione francese, esoterismo e femminismo 🔮

«Che senso ha conoscere il futuro se non si può cambiarlo?»

Due donne, da un lato Marie-Anne-Adélaїde Lenormand e dall’altro Caitlín Molloy.
🕰️ Lenormand arriva a Parigi e inizia a farsi strada grazie alle doti di preveggenza, capaci di determinare un futuro avverso, in cui Parigi sara macchiata dalla v!olenza: la rivoluzione, la ghigliottina, il terrore. Cait arriva a Parigi destreggiandosi con la lettura delle carte, in cerca di sostegno poiché il suo cuore batte per l’indipendenza irlandese. Tra le due nasce una complicità che le farà arrivare fino alla corte di Versailles, ma mentre una simpatizza per Maria Antonietta e la monarchia, l’altra aspira alla rivoluzione.

Da amante dei romanzi storici, questo libro è stata una vera rivelazione! L’ho trovato subito coinvolgente e scorrevole ⚜️
L’aspetto storico è ciò che ho amato maggiormente: alle protagoniste si intrecciano le vicende di personaggi più influenti: Maria Antonietta, la famiglia reale, Robespierre, Marat… E la Parigi rivoluzionaria è davvero suggestiva e affascinante, adoravo leggere dei posti conosciuti. È storicamente accurato, descrive la vita di corte e la vita delle classi più povere, le v!olenze, i soprusi: non risparmia la cruda realtà.
🔮L’esoterismo è un aspetto ben definito, una lente attraverso cui leggere e interpretare le scelte e le azioni dei personaggi: i tarocchi sono tra i protagonisti di questo romanzo, rendendolo davvero unico. Ho apprezzato maggiormente Lenormand rispetto a Cait, è il personaggio con cui ho simpatizzato di più; comunque la scelta di affiancare la rivoluzionaria irlandese e di dare un tocco saffico alla loro relazione è stata sicuramente vincente.

La cartomante di Versailles è una delle letture migliori di marzo - il setting storico unito all’esoterismo e al femminismo lo rende unico e originale. La carta che ho ricevuto è quella del Mago ed è super curata! Ringrazio di cuore Editrice Nord per la copia 🤎

DNF at 65%. Thoroughly silly, and after a feminist referred to her genitalia in a sex scene as ‘her flower’ I was pushed over the edge. Just didn’t care how it ended.

“Los hombres luchan, pero tú puedes decidir sus destinos.”

¡Hola, lectores!

Hay novelas que desde las primeras páginas consiguen transportarte a otra época y envolverte por completo en su atmósfera, y “La tarotista de Versalles” ha sido para mí una de mis mejores lecturas de este año.

La historia nos presenta a Marie-Anne Lenormand, la célebre cartomante de París que realmente existió y que llegó a leer las cartas a algunas de las figuras más poderosas de su tiempo. Desde su librería en la rue de Tournon, recibe a políticos, militares y nobles que buscan respuestas en el tarot, sin imaginar que sus visiones empiezan a revelar conspiraciones, traiciones y destinos que podrían cambiar el rumbo de Francia en plena Revolución.

Al mismo tiempo conocemos a Caitlin Molloy, una joven irlandesa de origen humilde que posee una sensibilidad especial para percibir aquello que otros no ven. Su vida comienza muy lejos de los salones de Versalles, pero poco a poco su camino irá entrelazándose con los grandes acontecimientos de la época.

Una de las cosas que más me ha gustado es cómo la autora nos va presentando a ambas protagonistas desde sus orígenes hasta las mujeres en las que se convierten. A lo largo de la novela acompañamos sus propios viajes, tanto físicos como personales, y vemos cómo el destino, las decisiones y las circunstancias van moldeando sus vidas.

La historia combina romance, misterio, intriga y conspiraciones en un contexto histórico fascinante. Además, el tarot tiene un papel muy especial dentro de la narración, convirtiéndose casi en un hilo conductor que parece marcar el destino de los personajes y acompañar los acontecimientos que están transformando Francia.

La ambientación también me ha parecido maravillosa. El París revolucionario, los salones de Versalles, las tensiones políticas y los secretos que se esconden tras cada personaje crean una atmósfera muy envolvente que hace que la lectura resulte todavía más inmersiva.

En definitiva, “La tarotista de Versalles” es una novela histórica muy atractiva, llena de misterio y de personajes interesantes, que consigue mezclar muy bien realidad y ficción en una historia que te mantiene con ganas de seguir leyendo.

Una lectura que he disfrutado muchísimo y que, sin duda, recordaré durante mucho tiempo.

I very much enjoyed this book. It blended history with a bit of magic and romance. The author has done a considerable amount of research in order to be as historically accurate as she could while still adding her spin to the story. I was gripped by the witchcraft mystical atmosphere that was built and by how complex the main characters were. Caitlin in particular was quite interesting, having clearer principles at the beginning and then watching them falter as the story kept unfolding. Seeing the character becoming more morally afflicted and confused as I continued reading along was torturous but also compelling. Lenormand in the meantime had much more clarity in her opinions and morals. Furthermore, the opposing perspectives of the characters sparked internal ethical debates, challenging my own views and having me question what I would deem as morally correct in the horrific historical context that the book is set in. It had me asking myself the age old question: At which point does the end goal no longer justify the means via which it is achieved?

Ci sono libri che si leggono in fretta, e poi ci sono quelli che si scelgono di assaporare lentamente, pagina dopo pagina, per non lasciarli andare troppo presto. "The Tarot Reader of Versailles" è stato esattamente questo per me: l'ho centellinato.
Ho amato ogni singolo aspetto di questa storia: Caitlin, Adelaide e tutti i personaggi, così vivi e sfaccettati - alcuni realmente esistiti, altri nati dalla penna dell’autrice - e i fatti narrati, dove realtà e immaginazione creano, con naturalezza, un intreccio riccio e suggestivo (a tal proposito consiglio di leggere la nota storica dell'autrice alla fine del testo).
È un romanzo delicato e al tempo stesso potente, capace di coinvolgere profondamente grazie a uno stile narrativo elegante e immersivo. Una lettura che non dimenticherò. facilmente.

What an absolute joy this book was to read, this has instantly gone to my favourite book of the year!

This story covered themes of love, loss, betrayal and belonging each with such heart. I felt each emotion deeply as the character felt it. I enjoyed the dual perspectives from Lenormand and Caitlin, and how the story unfolded with the teachings of the different kind of tarot readings leading us to the next part of the story. I have always been intrigued by tarot but knew little of it myself so greatly enjoyed learning of each through Caitlin's diary entries.

The relationship between Lenormand and Caitlin was beautifully written. Caitlin's character development throughout was thoroughly enjoyable, and I found myself riding the waves of her emotions and split loyalties. I enjoyed the mystical elements of the story and Lenormand's guidance from the spirits. I also loved the true historical elements that were woven in with the fictional and felt this was very well done. I enjoyed reading of the French Revolution through Lenormand and Caitlin's experiences, offering a peek behind the curtain to Marie Antoinette's experience during this time.
The descriptions of both Paris and Ireland were thoroughly immersive and helped bring the whole book together into a truly thrilling read. I feel this book would appeal to any fans of historical fiction and mysticism.

I cannot wait to have a physical copy of this book and read again with the tarot illustrations included!

Thank you to Netgalley and Bonnier Books UK for the advanced e-copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

It is the early days of the French Revolution and on the dark and dangerous streets of Paris, terror reigns….
Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand wields a most extraordinary power that many would see both as heaven sent, or indeed perhaps something much more menacing, she uses tarot to commune with those past mortality, revolutionaries and the aristocracy alike seeking her out to carve out their fates via divination should they pass her hand with the correct currency, that is.
Lenormand’s loyalty lies with Marie Antoinette and the dauphin of France but she knows what lies in store for the queen and she must do all that she can to ensure it does not become her own fate too.
Then, one fateful day, she comes across Cait, a scullery maid far from home who has made the perilous journey from Ireland and travelled to Paris for love. How very foolish.
Cait also has a power many people would fear - Cait can read people’s pasts just as Lenormand can see their futures. The two women cannot help but become entwined with such an electrifying connection but Cait hides something. What she will do - and who she shall betray - to bring revolution to her beloved Ireland?
The cards never lie yet it will fall to them both to either heed the warnings, or go against the powers that make them who they are all while grasping with what is happening right outside their careful circle of protection..
Inspired by a true story, The Tarot Reader of Versailles is intoxicating, hypnotic, and utterly terrifying. Bravo

An amazing insight into the French Revolution. I had no idea about the Irish connection for Irish independence. This was absolutely fascinating . A real gem of a book combining history myth and fantasy . The book had me hooked from the first chapter . Each chapter a different characters story had me hanging on a cliff and reading late into the night to catch up on the previous chapters story of the heroine and interspersed with tarot card spreads and their meanings adds a whole other dimension to the book . I would have given it five stars but I felt it was a little longwinded and probably could have had my attention more if it had been a little shorter but that could just be me as I don’t like books to be too long . Looking forward to reading more from this author in the future. I read on my kindle for NetGalley . With thanks to the author publisher and NetGalley.

Probably more of a 2.5 stars
Quite undecided with how I feel about this read.
I didn't vibe with the love triangle, there was no serious passion in any of the connections, almost forced throughout. I didn't even feel like the main character loved either person.
The Tarot portion throughout the book was more of a clinical "how to read tarot" styles. The magical component really lacked for a tarot reader.
But I loved the timeline setting, and the Versailles moments. Seeing the fall of the French royals from the poor POV was interesting.

So average it pissed me off, especially since it wasted a perfectly good lesbian storyline. The writing was unappealing, with an atrocious use of the present tense and every single implicit thought or theme spelled out to the reader, completely underestimating their mental capacities. There were many unnecessary and painfully awkward sex scenes. Also, Tarot is not actually explained in this book, especially not in a beginner-friendly way.
