Alais from 1209 and Alice in 2005 are both on a journey and their destiny's are entangled. It is set in the French town of Carcassonne and the two women in their own times have fought to find the true meaning of the grail and protect its secrets.
The book, chapter from chapter, swaps between the time zones, making the story flow very cleverly but giving two totally different worlds a bond between each other.
The symbol of the Labyrinth causes intrigue and mystery as they seek to fulfil their respective destinies.
If you like a very in depth descriptive and intricate storyline, then this book will suit you well. It featured in the famous Richard and Judy reading club, which is how i got to hear about it. Reviews were mixed but on the whole positive towards the book.
I enjoyed it but it wasn't as compelling a page-turner as I have read before. I enjoyed the unfolding of the mystery but found some elements of the short a little unbelievable which spoilt it slightly for me. On the whole I would give the book a 6/10.
