Kate Mosse: The Map of Bones, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'Mosse gives us both the satisfying intricacy of historical fact and a fictional narrative that carries us along at a rollicking pace . . . Brilliant and well researched . . . The past is felt deep in the reader's bones' - The Observer

A sweeping story of love, adventure and adversity, The Map of Bonesby Kate Mosse is an epic tale of courageous women battling to survive in a hostile land.

No word, no story, no grave . . .

Olifantshoek, Southern Africa, 1688. Suzanne Joubert, a Huguenot refugee from war-torn France, journeys to the Cape of Good Hope in search of her notorious cousin, Louise Reydon-Joubert - who vanished without trace half a century ago.

Franschhoek, Southern Africa, 1862. Nearly six generations later, Isabelle Joubert Lepard follows in her footsteps, determined to investigate the lives of her ancestors - and to honour their memory - only to discover that the evils of the past, though hidden, are far from buried.

And that her life, too, is under threat . . .

Painstakingly researched and beautifully told, The Map of Bones is the fourth - and final - novel of The Joubert Family Chronicles, following the bestselling The Burning Chambers , The City of Tears and The Ghost Ship.

'This is adventure-stuffed historical fiction in the grand tradition' - The Telegraph

' A fittingly terrific conclusion [to The Joubert Family Chronicles]' - inewspaper
