Items related to The Castle of Whispers
Castle of Whispers is a richly imagined work of fiction from one of France's best-loved authors. In 1187, on the day of her wedding, the beautiful 15-year-old Esclarmonde scandalises the court when she refuses to accept the knight chosen by her father. She vows instead to give herself to God, an act of defiance for which she is imprisoned in a cell. There, she encounters a mystical crossroads where the living and the dead meet, and she begins to exert a mysterious and pervasive power over the kingdom, reaching a saint-like status.

Review:
In Carole Martinez s lush prose, this period novel appears astonishingly modern The Castle of Whispers rolls out its music, intoxicating. L express
The second novel from Carole Martinez is cut from the same cloth as her first, The Threads of the Heart It confirms that this 44-year-old woman is a marvelous storyteller. Le Figaro
From one finely orchestrated plot twist to another, the story or rather the heady voice of Esclarmonde pulls us through time to the realm of the living and of the dead, of history and of legend. Telerama
There is much D. H. Lawrence in Carole Martinez s writing. Bibliobs "
