La ciutat de les llàgrimes

June 1572: for ten violent years, religious wars have ravaged France. Neighboring countries have become staunch enemies and many lives have been lost. Now, the royal marriage between Marguerite de Valois and Henry of Navarre hopes to close the long chapter of religious conflicts between Catholics and Huguenots, and their union can achieve the social and religious unification of the country. Meanwhile, in Puivert, Minou Joubert receives an invitation to attend, with her whole family, the royal wedding to be held that August in Paris. What Minou doesn't know is that the worst enemy of the Joubert family, Vidal, will also be there. Nor does he know that a few days after the wedding, on the eve of St. Bartholomew's Day, Minou's family will be scattered to the four winds and one of his beloved daughters will disappear without a trace ... A fascinating novel by revenge, persecution, and loss, traveling from Paris and Chartres to the city of tears, Amsterdam, in a story of a family's struggle to remain united in the face of the devastating blows of history.
