"A provocative page-turner, full of Da Vinci Code-esque intrigue."-Marie Claire From the author of Nina: Adolescence, comes a factually based, lyrically enthralling novel about the forbidden love between a woman and a holy man-and the terrible secret that poses an even greater threat to their faith. In 1896, a priest in southern France suddenly gained immense wealth. This much is historically true-but no one knows where the money came from. At his death, the priest's secret was buried with him. But there was a young woman-his housekeeper and lover, Marie Dénarnaud-who may have known the truth. Marie Dénarnaud was only a girl when the charismatic priest Bérenger first captivated her. As a woman, she became his housekeeper and struggled with guilt over their illicit relationship. But as their affection deepened, Bérenger grew secretive, and Marie had to learn why. What she discovers is a shocking secret that she becomes responsible for concealing. "Impressively researched and deftly written . . . a suspenseful story of love and religion."-Curtis Sittenfeld, bestselling author of Prep "Vivid and affecting."-Booklist
