«A gorgeously written, at times fantastical and deeply immersive novel» - Molly Aitken, author of Bright I Burn.
Two women. An extraordinary power. An explosive connection.
During a time of revolution, their fates will depend on the turn of a card... It is the early days of the French Revolution, and terror reigns on the streets of Paris.
Marie-Anne Adélaïde Lenormand is a young woman with a remarkable gift – through her tarot, she can communicate with the dead, revolutionaries and aristocrats seeking her help to predict their destinies. Lenormand remains loyal to Marie Antoinette and the heir to France, but she has seen the Queen's fate in her cards and must ensure her own does not follow the same path.
One decisive day, she meets Cait, a servant from Ireland who traveled to Paris for love. Cait also possesses abilities – she can read people's pasts, just as Lenormand reads their futures. The two young women share an electrifying connection, committed to their talents. But Cait is hiding something. What will she do – and whom will she betray – to bring revolution to her beloved Irish shores?
Inspired by the astonishing true story of Marie-Anne Adélaïde Lenormand, «The Versailles Tarot Reader» is a sweeping, powerful novel where faith, betrayal, and even destiny can be shaped or shattered by the turn of a card…
