medieval tale

End of the twenty-second century, in Franche-Comte.
A young woman slice the ear on the altar of the church on his wedding day, this is the only way to be heard does not want to marry the man who is promised. She announces that she is related to Christ and asked to end his days in a dungeon walled against the Castle Church. His gesture will exceed the limits of the field of Whispers and pilgrims flock to visit him.
A magnificent story that deals with the woman, religion, boundaries between faith and superstition, the Crusades, the love of a father for his daughter, pain necessary for a mother to cut the cord with his child, forgiveness.
Writing Carole Martinez is light, but with the breath of medieval tales and epics, and the legend of Esclarmonde us is narrated as in a vigil by the fire, a troubadour.
