Özet

Based on true events, a traumatic story of mass migration as relevant today as it has been since humans walked out of Africa.

Desperately fleeing the Huns in old Germania, the Suevi tribe sells Melia, a girl on the cusp of womanhood, into slavery, hoping to bribe its way into Gaul. Caught in the middle of the chaotic diaspora, Melia survives the cruelty of her owner, the candlemaker, and excels at making beautiful tapers and votives. But when the Suevi and thousands more barbarians storm across the frozen Rhine at midnight, New Years Eve, AD406, Gaul is transformed overnight, and Melia’s life is ripped apart again.

Reunited with her family in the calamitous invasion, she is called upon to use her skills and cunning to save them from warring Franks. But will she ever recover the love of her life, the father of her son? Her story imagines how one family, forced from their home by violence and hunger, endures one of the most disruptive and transformative events in history.

The Candlemaker’s woman is the story of a young girl sold into slavery towards the end of the Roman Empire. It’s a period I knew little about and the author, aided by the skilful narration of Hazel Moon, brings it to life through the eyes of young Melia. Despite her harrowing experiences she never gives up hope of a better life and personal happiness.
