Product Description

From the author of the international bestseller Girl with a Pearl Earring, this is historical fiction at its very best & perfect for fans of Rose Tremain, Kate Morton & Sarah Waters.

The compelling story of two women, born four centuries apart, & the ancestral legacy that binds them.

Ella Turner does her best to fit in to the small, close-knit community of Lisle-sur-Tarn. She even changes her name back to Tournier, & knocks the rust off her high school French. But it is all in vain. Isolated & lonely, she is drawn to investigate her Tournier ancestry, which leads to her encounter with the town’s wolfish librarian.

Isabelle du Moulin, known as Le Rousse due to her fiery red hair, is tormented & shunned in the village – suspected of witchcraft & reviled for her association with the Virgin Mary. Falling pregnant, she is forced to marry into the ruling family: the Tourniers. Tormentor becomes husb&, & a shocking fate awaits her.

Plagued by the colour blue, Ella is haunted by parallels with the past, & by her recurring dream. Then one morning she wakes up to discover that her hair is turning inexplicably red...
