Tells the story of one person during the persecution of the Cathars; despite being young at the time he plays a key role and pays a heavy price. This is very readable and I didn't want to put it down. For any historical aficionados out there just be aware the author uses some artistic licence on the timeline of one of the key events but that doesn't take away from the enjoyment. Recommended. ( ) I asked to review Cathar with a hint of trepidation. In recent historical fiction the Cathars, like the Knights Templar, have been appropriated by the religious-conspiracy crowd and I wasn’t quite sure what I was letting myself in for. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised: there were no secret societies (beyond Catharism itself) and no hint of the Grail. This is pure historical fiction.

This beautiful historical novel is a saga of heroism and heartbreak, as a young Cathar believer loses his aristocratic inheritance and becomes a fugitive from the Inquisition. During the 12th and 13th centuries, the Cathars in southwest France posed such a threat to Roman Catholicism, that the Inquisition was tasked to destroy every single one of them. Francois de Beaufort will lose the castle which is his inheritance, be horribly maimed in battle, see the woman he loves imprisoned and tortured for her faith. But he vows to fight back, to survive, and to rescue her. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
