Constant Guests
by Patricia Nedelea
– Learn MoreHow would you feel if you found out one day that your mother wasn’t your mother and nobody had a clue who your father might be? This is what happens to Isa, a cynical party girl from Paris whose life is abruptly changed. When Mara, her real mother dies in front of her eyes without saying a word, Isa wants to find out what Mara was searching for in 1991, before she went into a coma. But Isa soon discovers that she is not the only one searching for answers, and that her life is in danger. What is the secret that people are prepared to kill for? As Isa is drawn into a dark labyrinth of mysteries, she uncovers four lost-and-found stories related to a tarot deck from 1389. Four stories have to be told, twenty-four tarot cards have to be united and one great secret has to be revealed. She was looking for her mother’s secret. Instead, she found the world’s greatest secret.
This book is a hybrid adventure novel, swinging across Europe between history, mystery and fantasy. Not only that, you will gain historical knowledge about tarot and see the first tarot deck ever: the book includes images of the twenty-four cards. It will leave you amazed at the possibilities it unfurls, intrigued by the history of the tarot and staggered at revelations you might develop a taste for.
Editorial Reviews:
“The author’s craft and creativity (plus the glorious tarot card illustrations) are superb.” BLUEINK REVIEW (June, 2016)
“A complex, engrossing archaeological thriller with a plot stretching over many eras.” KIRKUS REVIEW (July, 2016)
“At first blush, Constant Guests seems like a historical thriller akin to The Da Vinci Code, but there is more here than meets the eye. The seemingly disparate plot lines provide hints and clues while building up an interesting mythology.” FOREWORD CLARION REVIEWS (July 2016)
“Nedelea’s debut is a unique tale with four stories-within-a-story taking place during four different time periods. The enchantingly twisty narrative constantly shifts between first- and third-person viewpoints.” ROMANTIC TIMES REVIEWS (June, 2016)
