Miel et vin (Le Buchet-Chastel, May 2009)
As the Age of Enlightenment casts its last glints over the fragrant woods and centuries-old châteaux of Périgord, Charles and Judith meet as if in a dream, which turns into a nightmare as they realise they are incapable of loving each other. Through the red-tinted twilight of the French Revolution and the dark Reign of Terror, this delicious book studded with engaging characters and fiends, brimming with magic and violence, tells a story of wild love. But it is also a fresco depicting the dazzle and anguish of life, a tale of destiny, of the shadows of childhood and the price of revenge.
In short, it is a story where cellar walls guard awful secrets and babes in the womb contemplate the world, believing they are all-understanding.
