I felt there were a few plot holes with dealing with the demon and the main character not actually being the Debussy she was looking for, but overall I really enjoyed it and it was a really fast-paced read for such a large book. ( )

Despite being an avid reader I gave up on this book countless times. So much so that it took me two years to finally finish it. I will say this, it was the most simultaneously scary and boring thing I have ever read. I didn't know I could be bored out of my mind while also afraid and now thanks to this book I do. That is the only thing I got from reading it, thank god its over. don't bother reading it, I only finished out of stubbornness. ( )

Everything Kate Mosse has written I've read or soon will. Many authors create a single character & ride that one character to the end, mot Mosse. She creates memorable characters that you get wrapped up & invested in. As much as her characters this is a complicated story that's rich in historical detail as are all her books. If you like Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series you'll love these.

Split between the 1890s and the 1st decade of the 21sr century, this is the story of American Meridith, who travels to France to investigate the composed Debussey, as well as find out more about her birth mother's family. [return][return]The characters of Hal and Julian are the weakest rendered - whilst the "motivation" of Constant is well understood (he's being driven mad by syphilis), though Julian's intensity to investigate the original tarot cards is less well defined - is he nuts, greedy or driven by something else? And his relationship with his nephew Hal is a little too bitter.

Epigraph
L'âme d'autrui est une forêt obscure où il faut marcher avec précaution.
The soul of another is a dark forest in which one must tread carefully.

Letter, 1891
Claude Debussy
The true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.

The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, 1910
Arthur Edward Waite
Dedication
To my wonderful mother, Barbara Mosse,
for that first piano

And, as ever, my beloved Greg —
for all things present, past and yet to come
First words
This story begins in a city of bones. In the alleyways of the dead. In the silent boulevards, promenades and impasses of the Cimetière de Montmartre in Paris, a place inhabited by tombs and stone angels and the loitering ghosts of those forgotten before they are even cold in their graves. [Prelude]
Léonie Vernier stood on the steps of the Palais Garnier, clutching her chatelaine bag and tapping her foot impatiently.
Where is he? [Chapter 1]
