The Burning Chambers: Kate Mosse (The Burning Chambers, 1)

Product Information

The Burning Chambers contains all the elements a reader has come to love and expect from a Kate Mosse novel: strong female characters, secrets passed down through generations, an inheritance, a forgery, a Will, a labyrinthine but totally absorbing plot. If, like me, your knowledge of 16th-century royal and political life and religious wars is somewhat limited, narration really helps; there’s something clear and precise about having the details of the conflict between the Huguenots and Catholics go straight into my listening brain. The country has been torn apart over matters of religion, citizenship and sovereignty, but a royal wedding may mean peace at last.

The gripping sequel to The Burning Chambers is set in France in 1572, where the Wars of Religion have been raging for ten violent years. I enjoy reading about people that are a bit more complex, and here you were either a hero (with no personality flaws) or a villain (with no redeeming qualities). Kate Mosse's "Languedoc Trilogy": Labyrinth, Sepulchre, and Citadel are three of my favorite historical fiction novels, so I was oh so thrilled when I heard she was writing a new series set again in the Languedoc province of France and even more excited to get my hands on a review copy of The Burning Chambers (let me just say that there's some serious cover love going on between me and this book! Very soon it will be a race against time for Ana to help persuade the town that they are in danger and should flee before the volcano erupts and destroys their world.Through this, she has experienced the joys, challenges and frustrations shared by an invisible army of carers.

Meanwhile, as a long-hidden document threatens to resurface, the mistress of Puivert is obsessed with uncovering its secret and strengthening her power . This set in France around a Catholic Girl Minou Joubert sent a strange letter SHE KNOWS THAT YOU LIVE. In the story, we see the somewhat rebellious and spirited Minou and the cautious but driven Piet, but above all most of the characters, rightly or wrongly are shaped by their ideals, principles, and beliefs.Registered address: Unit 5, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom.

First-rate cloak and dagger excitement – who knew the religious wars between Catholics and Huguenots in sixteenth-century France could be so riveting to modern audiences?

For Piet has a dangerous mission of his own, and he will need Minou’s help if he is to get out of La Cité alive .Ambos se ven atrapados en medio de la creciente tensión entre católicos y hugonotes, a la vez que la misteriosa señora de Bruyere amenaza el futuro de Minou. Kate Mosse is loved by her fans for her sweeping historical fiction series The Joubert Family Chronicles, but she is also the author of nine novels and short story collections, including her enthralling gothic novel The Taxidermist’s Daughter, the haunting ghost story The Winter Ghosts and her spooky short story collection The Mistletoe Bride and Other Haunting Tales. If that wasn’t enough to complicate their relationship, both Minou and Piet guard their own secrets. If you gave Mary Berry flour, butter, eggs and sugar, you could be absolutely sure she’d create the perfect Victoria sponge cake.
