I don't know much about this period in France's history other than briefly touching on the period in high school history class, so I found the historical aspect really interesting. At the heart of providing care, lie everyday acts of love and the realisation that, at some point in our lives, most of us will come to rely on an extra pair of hands.

The Burning Chambers contains an impressive amount of historical detail woven into a story that is highly accessible and vividly engaging. Meanwhile, the narrative is intercut with mysterious extracts from the diary of a woman whose identity the reader begins to piece together from scattered clues, and who appears bent on vengeance. Despite getting something of the short end of the stick in life, he is still unwilling to believe the worst of people (something that comes back to bite him in the behind). Her father, Bernard Joubert, was a faithful Catholic, but it was her late mother, who was a true Languedocien, promoting tolerance through selling books expressing her believes. I particularly enjoyed the delicate way the seperate stories of Minou and Piet converged in a subtle way to a great climactic ending.In today's standards it is very difficult to under stand Transubstantiation as it sounds very illogical. This is done exceptionally well, the feeling of threat and uncertainty faced by ordinary people on both sides more than just a backdrop for the main plot- from les oubliettes to tortured confessions and street violence, it's a precarious time when anyone could be your enemy and every word you say might be monitored for blasphemy. But now a precarious peace is in the balance: a royal wedding has been negotiated by Catherine de’ Medici and Jeanne d’Albret, an alliance between the Catholic Crown and Henri, the Huguenot king of Navarre. However, ‘old crimes cast long shadows…’ so this is a feud that could continue down the generations.

A thrilling adventure and a heartbreaking love story, The Burning Chambers is a historical novel of excitement, conspiracy and danger like no other . I was told that Forever Amber was sloppy Romance so for years I never tried it but when I did I made it book of the year. Kate is the Co-Founder and Chair of the Board of the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction (previously the Orange Prize) and in June 2013, was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to literature.Una novela que se adentra en temas como la familia, el amor, la religión, la venganza, la traición, el poder, el secretismo y el perdón. A lot of focus was on the religious conflict, too, which I found kind of off-putting but I understand that it was a HUGE part of life at that time, and was the motivating factor for a lot of the characters’ actions.
