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

Product Information

Despite getting something of the short end of the stick in life, he is still unwilling to believe the worst of people (something that comes back to bite him in the behind). Joyous, celebratory and engaging, Kate Mosse's book is for everyone who has ever wondered how history is made. Toulouse: As the religious divide deepens in the Midi, and old friends become enemies, Minou and Piet both find themselves trapped in Toulouse, facing new dangers as sectarian tensions ignite across the city, the battle-lines are drawn in blood and the conspiracy darkens further. This set in France around a Catholic Girl Minou Joubert sent a strange letter SHE KNOWS THAT YOU LIVE.

I didn’t realise the religious wars of France were just as viscious and prolonged as in Britain during the same time period ( Tudors and Stuarts). Mosse is a master storyteller, balancing thrilling suspense with complex characters and a thoughtful exploration of a fascinating time in history. Te gustará si: buscas una novela histórica, si te gustan las historias ambientadas en la Francia de 1560, que se adentren en el conflicto religioso entre católicos y hugonotes o si te gusta el estilo narrativo de la autora. In 1912 in a Sussex churchyard, villagers gather on the evening when the spirits of those who will die in the coming year will be seen. it made my head spin at times, trying to figure out who was on what side and who was a spy and who was playing both sides!In today's standards it is very difficult to under stand Transubstantiation as it sounds very illogical. 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. This is an epic novel that I absolutely LOVED, and I am already (anxiously) waiting for book two, The City of Tears.

Registered address: Unit 5, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom.The Burning Chambers is the first in a planned series charting the Huguenot diaspora from the wars of religion in 16th-century France to 19th-century South Africa, and here a prologue set in a Franschhoek graveyard in 1862 hints at the sweep of the story to come. Es la historia de un país y de una religión a través de unos personajes que, en su búsqueda de sus propios sueños y objetivos, no dudan en llegar todo lo lejos que puedan y que invita al lector a reflexionar sobre el derramamiento de sangre que se produce, en este caso, en nombre de la religión.

But aside from this, Mosse is practised at creating vivid scenes — in this case, a court wedding that is overtaken by the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, with profound consequences for her protagonists. Taking place in France during the 1500s, our main character is Minou Joubert, a nineteen-year-old woman.It was challenging to read about the scenes of Catholics, Huguenots, Protestant killing each other because of the faith. 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! If you’re interested in reading about Cathars, highly recommend The Treasure of Montsegur: A Novel of the Cathars by Sophy Burnham.
