Sepulchre -New tarot novel by Kate Mosse!

[Lleminawc]

Meanwhile I've started on The Chymical Wedding by Lindsay Clarke, first published in 1989. The narrative switches between the present day and the 19th century in alternate chapters; both timelines take place in the same village and are linked by an ancient pack of Tarot cards. Sound familiar at all?

Incidentally I'm wondering if one of Clarke's characters might be based on Robert Graves, and whether I should have read The White Goddess first. But then once you start thinking like that, there's no end to it...

ahh....I read that years ago...I went back to my library to re-read it sometime later and it wasn't there and I wasn't sure who the author was.....

You won't need "The White Goddess", but a good background in near Eastern/ancient Greek goddess cults helps. But the book gives enough background to make sense of the references.
