Live Chat with international bestselling author, M.J. Rose to chat about her
latest novel,
SEDUCTION.
A gothic tale about Victor Hugo's long–buried secrets and the power of
a love that never dies . . .
In 1843, novelist Victor Hugo's beloved nineteen–year–old
daughter drowned. Ten years later, still grieving, Hugo initiated hundreds of
seances from his home on the Isle of Jersey in order to reestablish contact with
her. In the process, he claimed to have communed with Plato, Galileo,
Shakespeare, Dante, Jesus—and even the devil himself. Hugo's
transcriptions of these conversations have all been published.
Or so it has been believed . . .
Recovering from a great loss, mythologist Jac L'Etoile thinks that throwing
herself into work will distract her from her grief. In the hopes of uncovering a
secret about the island's mysterious Celtic roots, she arrives on Jersey and is
greeted by ghostly Neolithic monuments, medieval castles and hidden caves. But
the man who has invited her there, a troubled soul named Theo Gaspard, hopes
she'll help him discover something quite different— transcripts of Hugo's
lost conversations with someone he called the Shadow of the Sepulcher. Central
to his heritage, these are the papers his grandfather died trying to find.
Neither Jac nor Theo anticipate that the mystery surrounding Victor Hugo will
threaten their sanity and put their very lives at stake.
So believe in the unbelievable and join us to chat live with M.J.! What's
more— we will be giving away a copy of the book and some of M.J.'s
favorite things!
