Women's Fiction Historical
Winner of the Royal Palm Literary Award for Historical Fiction. What if you could pay someone to take away your sorrow?
In the middle ages people believed a mother mourning her
child could "sell her sorrow" by selling a nail from her
child's coffin to a traveling peddler. Lady Celeste is overwhelmed with grief when her son dies.
Desperate for relief, she begs a passing peddler to buy her
sorrow. Jean, the cynical peddler she meets, is nobody's
fool; he insists she include her ruby ring along with the
nail in return for his coin. A strange but welcome forgetfulness comes over Celeste when
the transaction is completed – until she learns that without
her wedding ring her husband may set her aside, leaving her
ruined. She embarks on an urgent journey to retrieve it. But
how will she find the peddler and convince him to give up
the precious ruby ring? Pretending to be on pilgrimage, Lady Celeste secretly hunts
for the peddler. In dreams and brief flashes her memory
begins to return, slowly revealing a dangerous secret buried
in her past. Will she learn what she needs to know in time
to save herself, or will the knowledge destroy her? If you like realistic, well-researched historical fiction
with evocative prose, complex characters and a unique story,
you’ll love THE SORROW STONE. Travel to 12th Century France
with this compelling story based on an actual medieval
superstition.
