'Melvyn Bragg's account of the passionate and painful love affair
between the 12th century radical theologian, Peter Abelard, and the
brilliant young convent-educated Eloise springs magnificently to
life . . . Thrilling.' Piers Plowright, Tablet Paris in 1117.
Heloise, a brilliant young scholar, is astonished when the famous,
radical philosopher, Peter Abelard, consents to be her tutor. But
what starts out as a meeting of minds turns into a passionate,
dangerous love affair, which incurs terrible retribution. Nine
centuries later, Arthur is in Paris to recreate the extraordinary
story of Heloise and Abelard in a novel. To his surprise, his
daughter visits and agrees to help, challenging his portraits of a
couple who seem often inscrutable, sometimes breathtakingly modern.
It soon emerges she is on her own mission to discover more about
her parents' fractured relationship - and that Arthur's connection
to his subject is more emotional than he cares to admit.
