Even Beyond Death

‘Prepare to be seduced. Even Beyond Death is a ravishingly flamboyant, risqué delight of a novel. This liaison dangereuse is an exquisite romance - but beware a broken heart’ * Essie Fox *‘The storytelling is so addictive. This is sexy, witty, tense and touching - a terrific achievement’ * Patrick Gale *Like the wicked child of Fleabag and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Knowing, hilarious, tragic and lust-filled - a gripping gay love story with a touchingly tender heart beneath the plumed hats and codpieces – Sofka ZinovieffKnowing and witty, Fiona Melrose’s third novel uses an ingenious narrative conceit to allow Jehan to tell the story of his passion “even beyond death” * Sunday Times *This novel is utterly brilliant and I loved it … Heart-stopping danger stalks the story, but heart-bursting romance even more so … The characters are wonderful and the atmosphere intense. I was completely swept away - and shattered – Wendy Holden * Daily Mail *The historical period and attitudes of the time are very well rendered and immerse the reader in 17th century Avignon… this is a very moving read about forbidden love and the impact of it upon Jehan and, to a lesser extent, Jonathan and also their families * Historical Novel Society *
