SYNOPSIS

After being abruptly separated from Nicolas le Breton during the battle to save Mont Saint Michel in 1424, Katelyn Michaels finds herself back in her normal twenty-first century life as an American teenager. Depressed and anxious to be reunited with Nicolas, she is comforted when a series of events and impressions lead her to believe she is being prepared for another mission as a Watchman. When her beloved mentor, Jean le Vieux, comes to her in a dream and gives her the injunction to “Learn of the Maiden and take her the sword,” Katelyn understands that her mission involves assisting one of the most iconic figures in all of French History. Katelyn is once again whisked back to the turmoil of medieval France during the Hundred Years’ War and to Nicolas. However, before the two can consider the future of their relationship, they must first complete their mission to take the sword to the Maiden. Little do they know that their old nemesis, Abdon, is already on their trail and will do everything in his unhallowed power to stop them.

I have just finished two good novels, The Confident by Helene Gremillon and Chateau of Secrets by Melanie Dobson. Both are about secrets from WWII, that are revealed in the present. I am currently reading The Translation of Love by Lynne Kutsukake. It’s the coming of age novel about a young repatriated Japanese-Canadian girl, Aya, and what she faces when her father takes her back to Japan after WWII. She was shy to begin with and had to face taunts from her new schoolmates, until she is befriended by a girl, Fumi, whose elder sister disappeared and is feared to be a pan-pan girl in the Ginza district.Aya writes a letter in English for her friend and together they try to have it delivered to General MacArthur, enlisting his aid in their search for the missing Sumiko.

I would highly recommend Allison Pataki’s The Accidental Empress.

ah, the famous “sisi”! Tough one of the reviewers I trust wrote “I realized the story was only loosely based on actual historical facts; events were shifted in time to conveniently fit the story line and some were complete fiction”
