Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand is a young woman with an extraordinary power - through her tarot cards, she can commune with the dead, revolutionaries and the aristocracy alike seeking her out to divine their fortunes. Lenormand is loyal to Marie Antoinette and the dauphin of France, but she has seen the queen's fate in the cards and must take care that it doesn't become her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen, one fateful day, she comes across Cait, a scullery maid from Ireland who has travelled to Paris for love. Cait has powers too - she can read people's pasts as Lenormand reads their futures. The two young women share an electrifying connection, drawn to each other's abilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Cait is hiding something. What will she do - and who will she betray - to bring revolution to the shores of her beloved Ireland too?Inspired by the astonishing true story of Marie-Anne Adelaide Lenormand, The Tarot Reader of Versailles is a sweeping, powerful novel where allegiances, betrayals and even fate itself can be forged or broken by the turn of a card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnya Bergman\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eis the internationally bestselling Irish author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe Witches of Vardø\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e shortlisted for the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year 2023 and a Sunday Times Historical Fiction Book of 2023.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eAnya has published ten novels under her real name Noelle Harrison and possesses a doctorate in Creative Writing from Edinburgh Napier University where she is also co-programme leader of the Global Online Master’s in Genre Fiction. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe Tarot Reader of Versailles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e is her second Anya Bergman novel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf you have any questions regarding the event or to request additional accessibility accommodations please contact hello@rarebirdsbooks.pro\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Birds Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55600570597763,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/8600\/8738\/files\/EVENTLISTING-ONLINEPOST_10.png?v=1747661996","url":"https:\/\/rarebirdsbooks.pro\/products\/an-evening-with-anya-bergman","provider":"Rare Birds Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
