I found a happy atmosphere that had seduced me into "the promise of the angel"; historical collisions, mysteries, a good rhythm and a story that makes dreaming The first one is captivated by an original story and whose complexity is felt but I want to especially emphasize the magic of language; Violette Cabesos written very well, choist precise vocabulary, very rich, built elaborate sentences and so it's a treat to follow the story. it really is a storyteller who knows how to keep readers in suspense and works its effects. in this novel, do not look for courses- prosecution: take your time and savor I further discovered the world of alchemy; history is documented and very endearing. reading a good book by the fire
