Everything is about to change....

1789. Pierre and Catherine Aubert, the Comte and Comtesse de Verais, have fled the palace of Versailles for their château, deep in the French Alps.

Soon they must make a terrible decision in order to protect themselves and their children, from harm.

Present day. When Lu’s mother dies leaving her heartbroken, the chance to move to a château in the South of France with her husband and best friends seems an opportunity for a new beginning. But Lu can’t resist digging into their new home’s history, and when she stumbles across the unexplained disappearance of Catherine Aubert, the château begins to reveal its secrets - and a mystery unsolved for centuries is uncovered....

Great story Loved it

I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn’t sure I would really,like it but once it got going, I knew it would be good. I loved the characters particularly Lu. I found the woman Manny (think that was the name) kind of whiney and couldn’t face the fact her child had grown up. In the older times at first I didn’t like Catherine and Pierre. She acted like a spoilt teenager, which,min fact she was. I found the narrator changed her voice to an annoying little girl level when speaking for Catherine. It was a bit over done. Other than that, great story, good tour of southern France and a chance to connect with adventurous Middle Age people who are not afraid to start over with something very challenging in their lives It was a delightful story.
