About the Books
The Joubert Family Chronicles opens in Carcassonne in 1562 with The Burning Chambers, introducing Minou Joubert, a young Catholic bookseller's daughter drawn into a dangerous conspiracy during the French Wars of Religion after receiving a threatening anonymous letter. The saga continues a decade later in The City of Tears, set against the brutal backdrop of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, as the Joubert family is scattered across Paris, Chartres, and Amsterdam while fighting to survive religious persecution and reunite. In The Ghost Ship, the story shifts to the Barbary Coast in 1621, where Louise Reydon-Joubert commands a ship hunting pirates and liberating the enslaved, blending maritime adventure with the family's ongoing search for the truth about their past. The saga concludes with The Map of Bones, which leaps forward to Southern Africa in 1688 and later the nineteenth century, as descendants Suzanne Joubert and Isabelle Joubert Lepard uncover long-buried family secrets tied to a Huguenot refugee's flight from war-torn France. Across all four novels, Mosse weaves a multi-generational tapestry of courageous women, divided loyalties, and the long shadow of history, combining meticulous period detail with the pace of a thriller. Read together in order, the set delivers a complete arc from sixteenth-century France to the Cape of Good Hope and beyond, rewarding readers who want to follow the Joubert family's fortunes across an epic span of time.
