The Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller

‘Mosse is a master storyteller’ – Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe

Bringing sixteenth-century France vividly to life, Kate Mosse’s historical epic The Burning Chambers is a gripping story of love, betrayal, war and conspiracy. It is the first volume in the sweeping, spellbinding series, The Joubert Family Chronicles.

Carcassonne, 1562. Nineteen-year-old Catholic Minou Joubert receives an anonymous letter at her father’s bookshop. Sealed with a distinctive family crest, it contains just five words: SHE KNOWS THAT YOU LIVE.

But before Minou can decipher the mysterious message, a chance encounter with a young Huguenot convert, Piet Reydon, changes her destiny forever. 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 . . .

A thrilling adventure and a heartbreaking love story, The Burning Chambers is the first novel in Kate Mosse's enthralling, meticulously researched historical series. It is followed by The City of Tears.

'A tour de force' – The Observer

'Gripping, complex and intensely atmospheric' – The Mail on Sunday

Eleştirmen yorumları

Mosse's fans will relish this tale of secrets, love and treachery
Another of Mosse's immersive dramas, which takes you to the heart of the past (Book of the Week)
Mosse does what good popular historical novelists do best - make the past enticingly otherworldly, while also claiming it as our own
Mosse's narrative lyricism, beautifully drawn female characters and deft journey from the past to the present day are a cut above
A powerful storyteller with an abundant imagination
Rich with historical detail, as you'd expect from Mosse, but it's Minou, the fiery heroine, who makes this a must-read (Book of the Month)
An irresistible read
Impressively bold and ambitious, it features betrayals, broken friendship, family secrets and the horrors of fanaticism. Fans will love it
A tour de force
For a thumpingly immersive historical listen, Kate Mosse’s The City of Tears (Mantle Audio) — the second of her Burning Chambers trilogy, though you don’t have to have read or listened to the first to enjoy this — more than fits the bill. 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. 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. Actor Hattie Morahan, who has read novels by Tracy Chevalier and Stacey Halls, does a superb job, ably capturing the shifts between large-scale action and its impact on individual lives.

Another great story

The first two chapters of scene-setting were quite confusing and well worth listening to again at the end of the story. All became clear! The story is complex, but gradually the characters take shape and the narrative carries one along. We definitely want to learn more and will wait impatiently until 2020 for the sequel.

The start of another engrossing series from Kate Mosse

As the authors other books were gripping to the end I wasn't disappointed in The Burning Chambers. The book will hold you to the end and then tease you with the next book - so looking forward to the next one.

Gripping to the end

I’ve read all of Kate Mosse’ Languedoc trilogy books twice! They all capture the imagination, and I am immediately caught in the yesteryear of France; her books are always very well investigated for accuracy of the time she has written about, and the fact that the main protagonist is female in a time when they were seen, and not heard is all the more empowering a read for me; I promise you will not be disappointed in choosing this to listen to... I am very much looking forward to City of Tears now

One of my go to authors
