Sepulchure


This is definitely one of my favourite books that I've read so far, it has 544 pages and there isn't one boring part!

This book starts off on October 1891 with 17 year old Leonie and her brother Anatole abandon on the streets of Paris for the Domaine de la Cade. The two kids stumble across a Visigoth sepulchre - with a mystery written in blood. Leonie discovers a unique deck of tarot cards that are rumoured to hold the powers of life and death.

The second part of the book takes place at a later date, on October 2007. Meredith Martin is doing research for a biography of the composer Claude Debussy she carries with her a haunting piece of piano music and a sepia photograph and she suddenly finds herself dealing with a tragic love, a missing girl, an unquiet soul, and the strange change of events more than a century ago.



Something that I thought was really interesting about the book was that in the back of it, it actually has the sheet music for the haunting piano music that Meredith has in the back of the book!

This book is written by Kate Mosse!
