Sweeping from Carcassonne to Paris and Amsterdam, The City of Tears by Kate Mosse is a thrilling story of one family’s fight to survive against the devastating tides of history . . . May, 1572. For ten violent years the Wars of Religion have raged across France. But now, peace has been brokered and a royal wedding has been negotiated. It is a marriage that could see France reunited at last. An invitation has arrived for Minou Joubert and her family to attend this historic wedding in Paris. What Minou doesn’t know is that her family’s oldest enemy will also be there, that the Jouberts will soon be scattered to the winds after tragedy strikes, and that a beloved child will disappear without trace . . . The City of Tears is the second volume in Kate Mosse’s No. 1 bestselling series, The Joubert Family Chronicles. It is followed by the third instalment in the series, The Ghost Ship.
Review
That rare thing, a novel with vast scope and ambition, brilliantly achieved, but also deeply personal, finely detailed and nuanced. I was utterly immersed in this spell-binding story -- Rosamund Lupton, author of Three Hours

In case it’s not clear enough yet, I absolutely LOVED it -- Lucy Foley, author of The Hunting Party
