     MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS BOOK

  Rating systemRating systemRating systemRating systemRating system

Reading outside your comfort zone can be a very rewarding experience. I did it with The Keys of the Watchmen, so I was thrilled to renew the experience with The Sword of the Maiden.
Indeed, I hardly ever read books pertaining to YA, New Adult, romance and time travel. Well, this book has elements from these four categories, and it marvelously worked for me!

SYNOPSIS

Historian Lia Carrer has finally returned to southern France, determined to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. But instead of finding solace in the region’s quiet hills and medieval ruins, she falls in love with Raoul, a man whose very existence challenges everything she knows about life–and about her husband’s death. As Raoul reveals the story of his past to Lia, she becomes entangled in the echoes of an ancient murder, resulting in a haunting and suspenseful journey that reminds Lia that the dead may not be as far from us as we think. Steeped in the rich history and romantic landscape of the Languedoc region, In Another Life is a story of love that conquers time and the lost loves that haunt us all.
