Blurb

'Brilliant . . . The past is felt deep in the reader's bones' - The Observer

A sweeping story of love, adventure and adversity, The Map of Bones by Kate Mosse is an epic tale of courageous women battling to survive in a hostile land. No word, no story, no grave . . .

1688. Olifantshoek, Southern Africa. Suzanne Joubert, a Huguenot refugee from war-torn France, journeys to the Cape of Good Hope in search of her notorious cousin, Louise Reydon-Joubert, who vanished without trace half a century ago.

1862. Franschhoek, Southern Africa. Nearly six generations later, Isabelle Joubert Lepard follows in her footsteps, determined to investigate the lives of her ancestors - and to honour their memory - only to discover that the evils of the past, though hidden, are far from buried. And that her life, too, is under threat . . .

Painstakingly researched and beautifully told, The Map of Bones is the triumphant conclusion to Kate Mosse's number one international bestselling Joubert Family Chronicles, following the bestselling The Burning Chambers , The City of Tears and The Ghost Ship.

'This is adventure-stuffed historical fiction in the grand tradition' - The Telegraph 'A fittingly terrific conclusion' - The i Paper
