An epic wartime novel from the No.1 bestselling author of LABYRINTH and THE MISTLETOE BRIDE. 1942, Nazi-occupied France. Sandrine, a spirited and courageous nineteen-year-old, finds herself drawn into a Resistance group in Carcassonne - codenamed 'Citadel' - made up of ordinary women who are prepared to risk everything for what is right. And when she meets Raoul, they discover a shared passion for the cause, for their homeland, and for each other. But in a world where the enemy now lies in every shadow - where neighbour informs on neighbour; where friends disappear without warning and often without trace - love can demand the highest price of all...

Hi Littens, I‘m looking for your advice. We are going to Carcacassonne in one month ! The Langeudoc Trilogy.. is it good ? Do I need to read the series ? Which is best ? Or are there any other books set in & around this area ?! Sorry for the ambush of questions ! Thanks for any suggestions. Have a good week 👍🏻❤️

batsy Haven't read the books mentioned and I'm sorry I can't help you with any recommendations... But the trip though! Sounds exciting! 🤩 6y
Cathythoughts Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ @batsy thanks ! I‘m very excited about the trip. 6y
MinDea Can't add any help with your question on the series (sorry!) but your trip sounds awesome!! Traveling is so good for the soul.💙 6y

MinDea @JamieArc any thoughts/advice here? 6y
Cathythoughts Thanks 🙏🏻 @MinDea traveling is good for the soul alright ❤️ 6y
julesG I've started the first book in the series several times now. It's me, not the writing or the content. I have a physical copy and the size of it is just appealing, compared to the kindle. ? Depending on how fast you read, you could get the first book done before your trip. It's "Follett meets Crichton's Timeline" - can I say that? 6y
Cathythoughts Thanks @julesG that‘s very helpful. Sounds toooo long. I might just read one ... just tried a sample on kindle of the first one ..... so -so 🤔thanks for getting back to me. I don‘t know much about Follett or Crichton.... I‘m impressed with your knowledge! 6y
julesG I had my 'Medieval' phase and read quite a lot of books set in that time. Follett has this story of a Medieval town where a cathedral shall be built 6y
julesG Crichton wrote a time travel book about researchers travelling back to the Middle Ages 6y
julesG Timeline might actually be more interesting than Labyrinth, it's also set in France but a bit more fast paced than Mosse's story and a lot shorter. 6y
Cathythoughts @julesG I stacked The Pillars of the Earth recently ( never read Follett) maybe I‘ll go with that one. I‘m not great at decisions 😱 I‘ll check out Timeline too 👍🏻thanks , you are very good ! (edited) 6y
julesG Anytime! 6y
Cinfhen Trip sounds fabulous 💓💓💓 6y
Cathythoughts @Cinfhen thanks, we are going for a week ! Exciting... 6y
Mdargusch Sounds like it will be an amazing place to visit! 6y
Cathythoughts @Mdargusch yes! I think so too. 👍🏻 6y
DivineDiana Your trip sounds wonderful! I enjoyed Timeline too. @julesG My daughter recommended and it was a page turner! 6y
Cathythoughts @DivineDiana thanks, we are excited! I will further investigate Timeline 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 6y
erzascarletbookgasm So excited for you! No help here, but look forward to seeing pics from your trip! 🤗 6y
TrishB I loved this series and I‘m very jealous of you going! That should be awesome! 6y
Cathythoughts @TrishB oh great about the series .. I‘ll try one. We are only lucky, as we try to fly from Cork... just so much easier than Dublin .. and we are 20 mins from Cork airport. AND there are direct flights to Carcassonne this summer ... so we are off. Hubby is practicing his French ( 🤭🙄) I cant cope ... 😕 6y

Found this at my dads and as I‘ve read Kate Mosse‘s Labyrinth obviously I was keen to borrow it 🤣 I‘ve made a good dent in it already, so good.

I‘ve got to say I‘m glad to be going home tomorrow, dad keeps reading out bits of local (Kettering, Uk) history too me!

This was soo good as an audiobook. Finty Williams is a superb narrator, I'd love to find more audiobooks with her narrating.

Andrew65 Agreed 😊 6y

I started listening to this when I discovered that Kate Mosse has a new book coming out next year set in the same part of France. I read this series years ago, and this was my favourite of the trilogy. Finty Williams is a wonderful narrator, so I know I'm going to enjoy this immensely.

The bleak setting for my #audiowalk matched nicely with the action in the book.

This book takes place at the time of the Nazi occupation of France during the WW2. The protagonist, who lives in Carcassonne, becomes a member of an all-female group of French #resistance fighters.

This book was long, about 800 pages. Worth every single word, page, and chapter. A resistance group in WWII France made up of women are the heroines of the story. They battle the Nazis and in the end get some help from the past. Heart stopping and heart breaking. ❤️❤️❤️

BeckaroniAndCheese @Booknerd2 I second your comment - this was a good one! 7y

Just bought this. Does anyone know if I have to read the other 2 in the series first?

EmilyAnne Nope, they're all stand-alones 😊 I really enjoyed this one!! 7y
Booknerd2 Thank you. I can't wait to start it 😊 7y
readinginthedark I've read Labyrinth by her. It's good! Haven't read this one yet. 7y
Booknerd2 So far it's pretty good. Over 800 pages though. It will probably take me a bit to get it done😊 7y
