'There's a deliciously hothouse feel to Celia Bell's slow-burn, smouldering debut. Intrigue a-plenty .... beautifully detailed ... [a] beguilingly dark fairytale' - Daily Mail 'The writing has the quality of velvet about it, so lusciously rich that it folds you into a thrilling love story ... Beautifully researched.' - Sally Gardner 'Historical storytelling at its most captivating ... I couldn't put it down.' - Lisa Appignanesi, author of Everyday Madness 'A hothouse atmosphere in which depravity, sensuality, and duplicity reside side by side, and Marie Catherine's plight builds in suspense as the noose tightens around her ... a bold and inspired mix of Les Liaisons Dangereuses and The Crucible.' - Publishers Weekly starred review 'The Disenchantment is filled with rich and beautiful detail that brings 17th Century Paris to life. Marie Catherine's struggle to remain true to herself despite the restrictions she faces is depicted with understated power, and hers is a story that will stay with me for a long time.' - Elizabeth Lee, author of Cunning Women
