‘Mosse is a master storyteller’ – Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe
An epic historical adventure, sweeping from Carcassonne to Paris and Amsterdam, The City of Tears by Kate Mosse is the spellbinding second volume of The Joubert Family Chronicles.
May, 1572. For ten violent years, the Wars of Religion have raged across France. But when Minou Joubert and her family are invited to attend a historic royal wedding in Paris, it is a sign. Peace has been brokered – the marriage could see France reunited at last.
What Minou doesn’t know is that her family’s oldest enemy will also be in attendance, that the Jouberts will soon be scattered to the winds after tragedy strikes, and that a beloved child will disappear without trace . . .
A thrilling story of one family’s fight to survive against the devastating tides of history, The City of Tears is the second novel in the series. It is followed by The Ghost Ship.
