'Utterly captivating. An engrossing, propulsive novel' Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites'A gorgeously written, at times fantastical and deeply immersive novel' Molly Aitken, author of Bright I BurnTwo women. An extraordinary power. An explosive bond. In a time of revolution, their fates will lie in the turn of a card . . . It is the early days of the French Revolution and, on the streets of Paris, terror reigns. Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand is a young woman with an extraordinary power - through her tarot cards, she can commune with the dead, revolutionaries and the aristocracy alike seeking her out to divine their fortunes.

Then, one fateful day, she comes across Cait, a scullery maid from Ireland who has travelled to Paris for love. Cait has powers too - she can read people's pasts as Lenormand reads their futures.

What will she do - and who will she betray - to bring revolution to the shores of her beloved Ireland too?Inspired by the astonishing true story of Marie-Anne Adelaide Lenormand, The Tarot Reader of Versailles is a sweeping, powerful novel where allegiances, betrayals and even fate itself can be forged or broken by the turn of a card . . . *Selected as a Bookseller pick of the month*'Readers who like their historical fiction laced with fantastical elements will enjoy this spirited tale' The Times'[A] propulsive epic in the company of two extraordinary women' Daily Mail'A complex, epic and engrossing tale' Caroline Lea, author of Love, Sex & Frankenstein'I was totally swept up in this epic story of fate and betrayal, love and intrigue.
