The sweeping new novel from the bestselling author of Hiding from the Light and Whispers in the Sand switches between the past, and Roman Britain, and the present day where history dramatically impacts on the lives of three women.
The Romans are landing in Britannia...
Cartimandua, the young woman destined to rule the great Brigantes tribe, watches the invaders come ever closer. Her life has always been a maelstrom of love, conflict and revenge, but it only becomes more turbulent and complicated with power. Her political skills are threatened by her personal choices, and Cartimandua finds she has made formidable enemies on all sides as she faces a decision which will change the futures of all around her.
In the present day, historian Viv Lloyd Rees has immersed herself in the legends surrounding the Celtic queen. Viv struggles to hide her visions of Cartimandua and her conviction that they are real. But her obsession becomes more persistent when she finds an ancient brooch that carries a curse. Bitter rivalries and overwhelming passions are reawakened as past envelops present and Viv finds herself in the greatest danger of her life.

Descrizione libro Paperback. This sweeping new novel from the bestselling author of Hiding from the Light and Whispers in the Sand switches between Roman Britain and the present day, where history dramatically impacts on the lives of three women. Historian and university lecturer Viv Lloyd Rees resigns from her university post when the BBC express interest in making a programme based on her book on Cartimandua, Celtic queen of the Brigantes and peer of Boudicea. Together with biographer Kate Kennedy and actress Pat Taylor, she forms Daughters of Fire, a company dedicated to making dramas about women who have made history on their own terms. But the three women soon discover that tension exists between them as they travel to the Pennines - where Cartimandua lived - for inspiration and research. Slowly and inexorably, Cartimandua begins to take them over. Pat deliberately courts the memory of Cartimandua, trying to put herself into the warrior queen's shoes, Viv searches for archaeological evidence, while Kate fights a growing realisation that the spirit of Cartimandua is not at rest. As Cartimandua's presence becomes more and more real, Pat's hold on reality begins to waver and ancient rivalries are rekindled alongside modern ones! 2006, A trade paperback copy in very good condition only marked by light creasing of the wraps and light age tanning of the edges. {"length"=>["23.4"], "width"=>["15.3"], "units"=>["Centimeters"]}.
