'The storytelling is so addictive. This is sexy, witty, tense and touching - a terrific achievement' Patrick Gale

'Even Beyond Death is a remarkable achievement - passionate, witty, and moving. A smart, spirited and highly original historical novel, written with tremendous flair, humour and compassion' Antonia Hodgson


EVEN BEYOND DEATH is an account of the life of the 24-year-old Marquis Jehan Beaudelaire - Avignon's most handsome and eligible batchelor - as told to his Scribe.

It is 1657, Avignon, and the Marquis needs a wife, an heir and, most pressingly, a new valet. Enter Jonathan Kryk who is . . . oh god he is beautiful. But despite Jehan's wealth, he is caught in a trap of his time and position in society. The man he desires attends to him every day, dresses him, bathes him . . . yet neither can be free with each other. Everywhere there are spies - can his household be trusted? Even his own family? - and the eyes of God and the law are upon them.

Unable to live freely as he wishes, Jehan must ask himself what is he willing to risk, for love.

EVEN BEYOND DEATH is a sweeping and exquisite 'catalogue of desire' and a heart-breaking story of an agonising, forbidden affair. At once lavish, steamy and dramatic, Fiona Melrose's bold new novel is an intimate depiction of love, passion, tenderness and devotion - even beyond death.
