A breathtaking historical novel of revenge, persecution and loss,
The City of Tears by Kate Mosse follows on from her Sunday Times
number one bestseller, The Burning Chambers. May 1572: for ten
violent years the Wars of Religion have raged across France.
Neighbours have become enemies, countless lives have been lost, and
the country has been torn apart over matters of religion,
citizenship and sovereignty. But now a precarious peace is in the
balance and a royal wedding has been negotiated. It is a marriage
that could see France reunited at last. An invitation has arrived
for Minou Joubert and her family to attend this historic wedding in
Paris in August. But what Minou does not know is that the Joubert
family's oldest enemy, Vidal, will also be there. Nor that, within
days of the marriage, on the eve of the Feast Day of St
Bartholomew, her family will be scattered to the four winds and one
of her beloved children will have disappeared without trace . . .
Sweeping from Paris and Chartres to the City of Tears itself - the
great refugee city of Amsterdam - this is a story of one family's
fight to stay together and survive against the devastating tides of
history . . . 'A gorgeously written, utterly absorbing epic . . . I
absolutely loved it' - Lucy Foley, author of The Hunting Party 'A
novel with vast scope and ambition, brilliantly achieved . . . I
was utterly immersed in this spell-binding story' - Rosamund
Lupton, author of Three Hours 'This is historical fiction to
devour. Nobody does it like Kate Mosse' - Anthony Horowitz on The
Burning Chambers
