LABYRINTH by Kate Mosse is one of those books that have a superb beginning, and a not-so-good ending.I loved the way this book started, with naive young-for-her-age Alice Tanner volunteering at an archaeological dig in south-western France. Something draws her up the hillside. She finds an old buckle. Then there is a rumbling sound and a huge boulder moves aside to show a door in the rock.Yes, I know this strains credulity, but the writing was so good, I bought it.After this set-up, we move back into the past, from July 2005 to July 1209. Alice Tanner is now 17-year-old Alais Pelletier, the favorite daughter of a Bertrand Pelletier, steward to Viscount Trencavel, who holds court at Carcassonne.Storm clouds are rumbling over this regions as a huge army of French barons and Catholic priests is sweeping south to stamp out the Cathar heresy and grab those southern lands. Alais and her family get caught up in the “ethnic cleansing†that follows, as the northern French lords impose their ways upon the south, and try to eradicate the culture.As others have remarked, this story is too long. I agree. I found myself skipping large chunks of it towards the end. And I think the reason for that is because the author (perhaps in a rush to finish this book) allows her writing to become careless. For example, she puts large chunks of explanation into the mouth of Audric Baillard, which is boring for the reader to read. This is a pity, because the beginning of this book shows that Ms. Mosse can write compelling prose. Three stars.
I live in an area where Languedoc is the local patois so the book was pretty much required-reading for me and I enjoyed it. The structure of the book is chronologically quite complicated but evidently well-researched. Her descriptions of landscape are evocative though I'm not sure what 'scrub' vegetation is and 'flint' seemed to turn up where it doesn't belong. (OK a bit nit-picking I know, but still.........) The brutality of this period makes the massacre at Oradour sur Glane in 1944 seem almost routine. I'm not too sure about the central theme though which is a bit Dennis Wheatley, or DaVinci Code'ish but the story rattles along in an exciting way towards a symbolic conclusion.
This book is filled with well developed characters, at times stereotypical protagonists and villains. I'm glad I took 4 years of French because there are numerous references written in French that are not translated for the reader in the text, though the most difficult are. It's an intriguing story in the present day within another story from the 12th century in southern France. If you like historical fiction and suspense, give this book a try.
This story redeemed itself in the final 25% of the book. The first part was enjoyable enough, but not really compelling. I didn't feel drawn to find out what would happen next. I began at some point to draw some guesses about what would occur, who was really who, etc. I was right about the guesses, but could not have really foreseen everything. It really picked up for me when Alice arrived at the mountaintop home of Baillard and he told his story. The ending was ultimately satisfying. I'm glad I didn't give up along the way. In the final analysis, I prefer this interpretation of the Grail story to the idea of a chalice or some other relic.
There were times in this book I wanted to just put it down but others in which I kept hoping that it would keep up the way it was going! It's a great plot line but at times I thought it just wasn't working. Give the book a try because it has potential to be loved by some, but not so much by others. Still worth giving it a chance.
In 2005 Alice Tanner is a volunteer at an archaeological dig in the Sabarthes Mountains when she finds the opening to a cave. Inside she discovers the remains of two people, a stone ring, strange etchings on the walls and a small leather bag.In 1209, seventeen years old Alais suffers from a bad nightmare that frightens her. She leaves her spouse sleeping to visit her father Bertrand Pelletier, Intendent to Viscount Trencavel. He gives her a stone ring and a sacred tome that references the true grail much older than the Christian myth for her to keep safe; he joins the fight against the Crusaders sent by Pope Innocent III and French King Phillip to eradicate the Albigensian Heresy. With her foes in pursuit, Alais hides in a cave in the Sabarthes Mountains.In 2005, some see the discovery as a means to gain global power and will kill anyone including Alice who stands in their way of achieving supremacy. Others fear what the discovery will do to Christianity and will kill anyone including Alice who stands in their way of preventing the revealing of the secret of the cave. Alice wants her friends safe while honoring her pledge she made to Alais in the cave.LABYRINTH is an exhilarating conspiracy thriller that smoothly rotates between the two eras. Each subplot contains a courageous female in trouble and powerful adversaries who want to prevent secrets from being revealed. The action-packed story line grips readers from the moment the cave calls to Alice and never slows down as the audience wonders what will happen to her and to Alais. Though somewhat out of the Brownian Christian conspiratorial thriller, perhaps it's as simple as having female lead protagonists or the depth into French medieval history, but Kate Mosse provides a fresh take.Harriet Klausner
