Anthony Sattin SUNDAY TIMES This is a novel clearly fuelled by an authorial obsession with a history, region and concept. the story line runs on knowledge and fun - Carcassonne never looked so good. the texture of various patches of the past with such rich complexity GUARDIAN a gripping holy grail quest.
Mosse wears her learning so lightly, knitting her historical research so neatly into her narrative, that we never get the slightest sense of being preached or lectured to. Christina Koning THE TIMES Pacey and addictive - Kate Saunders THE TIMES Saturated with a passionate understanding of the region's past in a way that puts more conventional historical accounts to shame. the result is entirely compelling and full of incidental pleasures. The author has combined an ingenious adventure story with a wonderfully detailed account of the historical background of the Languedoc.
