‘A triumph. Excellent’ Time Out ‘A beautifully crafted story shot with vivid colours’ The Times
Midwife Isabelle du Moulin is marked as different, both by her red hair and her love for the Virgin Mary in her rich blue robes. As religious fervour sweeps 16th century France, Isabelle’s striking likeness to the Madonna puts her in danger when her village is enraptured by new Protestant doctrine.
Four centuries later, Ella Turner moves to the French village of Lisle-sur-Tarn and finds her dreams are haunted by the colour blue. Ella hopes to become both a midwife and a mother, but her plans unravel as she discovers her link to Isabelle, and Isabelle’s shocking fate.

Quotes

  • Oxana Bredikhinahas quoted7 years ago
    was a funny thing: once you tell your story to others it becomes more like fiction and less like truth. A layer of performance is added to it, removing you further from the real thing.
