Inspired by a true story, The Bones You Have Cast Down will transport you to a medieval village and a lush Renaissance court, to long ago times not unlike our own, when the keepers of faith conspired against the faithful, and the rich and powerful embraced war and corruption even while fostering works of artistic brilliancerevered to this day.
In 1447, Taria is swept from a convent orphanage into the glittering retinue of the duchess of Milan. Lowborn in a highborn circle, she has never felt so alone. Then a small, mysterious painting of a female pope carries her back 150 years to the joyous circle of a holy woman, worshipped in her time, mysteriously obscure in Taria's time.
The duchess believes the journey is only a vision, yet she orders Taria to learn more. Reviving the holy woman's fame could bring badly needed prestige to the noble family. But Taria conceals a devastating revelation: the saint and her followers are despised by the Inquisition.
As jealousy wrecks her romance and poisons her closest friendship, Taria shuns the present and embraces the holy woman's circle as the family she has always craved. And the Inquisition closes in.
Embed yourself in nineteenth-century America, with Walt Whitman...
Over 300 period images, including paintings, in full color, and extensive quotes by Walt Whitman and his family and friends (and a few enemies) bring to life the places, people, and tempestuous events of Walt's time: a family harrowed by mental illness; the bloody Civil War; burgeoning, brawling Manhattan and Brooklyn; friends and lovers; literary allies and rivals; and his beloved America, racked by disunion even while racing westward.
"A true Whitmanian feast--for the intellect as well as for the eyes.... Illustrations of Whitman's places, friends, family, disciples, contemporaries--his cities and his rural retreats. The descriptions of his life and times are concise and smart. The book keeps opening up to new facets of Whitman, his work, and his era." -- Ed Folsom, editor of Walt Whitman Quarterly Review and Co-Director of The Walt Whitman Archive
"With Walt Whitman, Himself is perfectly titled for to read of him so closely is to feel his eyes upon you, to sense his company as real as your own. Jean Huets has made a book of marvels and I can't put it down." -- Steve Scafidi, author of To the Bramble and the Briar, and recipient of prizes including Miller Williams Prize, and Library of Virginia Literary Award for Poetry
