Kate Mosse's bestseller is a well-imagined grail tale, blending the past and present into a smooth story heading for one conclusion. The story sheds light on a lesser-known group of Christians in today's southern France, the Cathars, whose story in history is largely forgotten. I enjoyed the back-and-forth chapter style, superimposing a present day amateur archaeologist's life events with those of her ancestress, finding the detail in each to be appropriate and well done.
