The joy and happiness of rediscovering Laurine Roux’s magnificent writing
Set in the time of the Crusades, there is a gesture, a repetition, a legacy; there are Reine, Enguerrand, Hugon, Clarisse, Gala… and above all, there is Laurine’s talent for whispering stories that are ancestral yet so contemporary. There’s that style recognizable in a single sentence; there’s that meticulous attention to layout that turns reading into a true journey. There are the stinging nettles, the yews, and the beech trees; there’s nature everywhere, which will eventually reclaim its rightful place....
This new novel is simply a pure marvel.
