About this product

Product Information

Meet Ella Turner and Isabelle du Moulin--two women born centuries apart, yet bound by a fateful family legacy. When Ella and her husband move to a small town in France, Ella hopes to brush up on her French, qualify to practice as a midwife, and start a family of her own. Village life turns out to be less idyllic than she expected, however, and a peculiar dream of the color blue propels her on a quest to uncover her family's French ancestry. As the novel unfolds--alternating between Ella's story and that of Isabelle du Moulin four hundred years earlier--a common thread emerges that unexpectedly links the two women. Part detective story, part historical fiction, The Virgin Blue is a novel of passion and intrigue that compels readers to the very last page.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Fascinating, compelling, disturbing, a good read.

    I bought this book because the main characters in the novel had the annoying skin affliction known as psoriasis. As a psoriasis sufferer, I found it interesting that an author would add that to an already complex storyline. There are two story lines that take place 400 years apart from each other, and how these two lines become intertwined is the basis of the whole novel. The author did a lot of research to develop the 400 years ago storyline.

  • Great writer!

    Great a book! Writer is gifted and makes you feel like your in another time!!

  • Well-written, but,...

    There's no question Chevalier is an accomplished writer. The reader is plunged into a sensory experience of time and place. Unfortunately, her protagonists, especially in The Virgin Blue, tend to be unsympathetic, which denies the story of reaching its full potential. I think a departure from the shallow, feminist woman who only thinks of herself would raise of the level and bring a true mark of excellence to Chevalier's writing.

    I have not read this particular book yet. However, I have enjoyed all the books I have had the pleasure to read by this author. I am looking forward to every page!
