Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice transports listeners across the sea in this moving, magical tale of a lonely woman with a promise to keep.

Spurred by her mother’s dying wish, Susannah Connolly has traveled from her lifelong home on the Connecticut shoreline to the fabled French Camargue, to see its famous white horses and find a mysterious saint linked to her family’s history. An accomplished anthropologist, Susannah has always been confident of her ability to navigate anywhere on the globe. But in the wake of a failed love affair and grieving the loss of her mother, she is adrift and uncertain.   

American-born Grey Dempsey had come to the Camargue as a journalist, fell in love with a celebrated Romany rider, and suffered a devastating loss of his own. Now he operates a ranch as he struggles to raise his spirited but troubled young daughter, who now fears the horses she once loved.

Within their bittersweet private orbit, Susannah Connolly will find a part of herself she hadn’t known she had lost. And here she will find herself embraced by a circle of strong and passionate women bound together by their abiding faith in the legendary slave-saint Susannah seeks and in the miracles she is said to still perform. Yet old secrets swirl within the fog-shrouded landscape, betrayals that may be beyond the power of any saint, or supplicant, to repair.

Goodreads review by Kate on March 28, 2008

A romantic novel, I guess I have to admit. I had a hard time putting it down as the story involves many things I can identify with: a young girl who feels abandoned by her mother, beautiful, magnificent horses, gypsies, an anthropology professor, and a journalist. Located in the south of France, whe......more

Goodreads review by Debra on February 15, 2020

Honestly, despite the glowing community reviews and the many elements to interest me (neolithic cave art, Cosquer Cave, the horses and cattle of the Camargue, Romany culture, family conflicts) this book barely held my attention. Chaqu'un a son gout.......more
