Description
On July 15, 1099, the crusaders conquered Jerusalem. It was the end of the First Crusade, the most daring pilgrimage of all time. Many historians have reported this extraordinary expedition to the tomb of Christ. But no one had yet written the novel of this feminine epic. From Chartres to Jerusalem via Constantinople Nicaea Antioch and Tripoli The Peregrines take us following Brunissen Flaminia and Alaïs the three daughters of a Chartres parchment maker. Through their eyes we discover the splendors of these cities but also the terrible trials encountered along the way: the death which decimated their family the long exhausting marches the hunger the thirst the illness the battles the rivalries which opposed the Frankish lords. Supported by their faith and the miraculous events that save the pilgrims from disaster, the three sisters also make us experience the passionate and contradictory loves that will divide their hearts and turn their lives upside down. Jeanne Bourin vividly recreates the daily existence of the crusaders. She places us back in this era of faith and violence by mixing history with fiction and reminds us that women also actively participated in the crusades. They were God's adventurers
