Description
The Map of Bones: the Joubert Family Chronicles Book 4 by Kate Mosse In the midst of a violent Cape wind, the whispers of the unquiet dead can be heard in the deserted valleys of South Africa. Suzanne Joubert, a Huguenot refugee, sets out to uncover the truth about her cousin, the notorious pirate commander Louise Reydon-Joubert, who vanished from the record over sixty years ago. Her journey takes her to the small frontier town of Franschhoek, where she must confront the dark secrets of the past and face a race against time to survive. A century and a half later, another woman of the Joubert family, Isabelle Lepard, arrives in Franschhoek, driven by a desire to put her family's history back into the record books. As she delves deeper into the past, she discovers that the tragedies and crimes of the past are far from over, and that the power of the written word can be both a source of strength and a means of survival. This poignant novel tells the story of courageous women battling to survive in a hostile land, and the importance of bearing witness and the written word in the face of adversity.
