Set during WW II, this final novel in Mosse's Languedoc trilogy (bwl 33 and 47) has all the hallmarks of its predecessors. Atmospheric, mystical, peopled with extraordinary but believable characters, it pits the forces of evil and darkness against those of life and light, as it tells the story of 18 year-old Sandrine as she is gradually drawn into the role of resistance fighter. If you like Mosse, you'll love it, if not - best avoid.
