'Believable, page-turning and memorable.' Lela Michael, S.P. Review
1150 in Provence On the run from abuse, Estela wakes in a ditch
with only her lute, her amazing voice, and a dagger hidden in her
underskirt. Her talent finds a patron in AliEnor of Aquitaine and
more than a music tutor in the Queen's finest troubadour and
Commander of the Guard, Dragonetz los Pros. Weary of war, Dragonetz
uses Jewish money and Moorish expertise to build that most modern
of inventions, a papermill, arousing the wrath of the Church. Their
enemies gather, ready to light the political and religious
powder-keg of medieval Narbonne. Set in the period following the
Second Crusade, Jean Gill's spellbinding romantic thrillers evoke
medieval France with breathtaking accuracy. The characters leap off
the page and include amazing women like Eleanor of Aquitaine and
Ermengarda of Narbonne, who shaped history in battles and in
bedchambers. Watch the trailer youtube.com/watch?v=XZvFmOkD6Pc
The true scents of Provence? Lavender, thyme and septic tank. There
are hundreds of interesting things you can do in a bath but washing
dishes is not one of them, nor what writer Jean Gill had in mind
when she swopped her Welsh Valley for a French one. Keen to move
out of the elephant's stomach, that stew of grey mists called
weather in Wales, she offered her swimming certificate to a bemused
Provencale estate agent and bought a house with good stars and its
own spring-water. Or rather, as it turns out, a neighbour's
spring-water that is the only supply to the kitchen, which,
according to the nice men from the Water Board, is emptying its
dirty water directly and illegally onto the main road...and there's
worse ...But how can you resist a village called Dieulefit, God
created it', the village 'where everyone belongs'. Discover the
real Provence in good company ...Watch the book trailer
