'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
'Prepare to be seduced. Even Beyond Death is a ravishingly flamboyant, risqué delight of a novel. This liaison dangereuse is an exquisite romance - but beware a broken heart' Essie Fox
'A feast of a book. Witty and bright. The tonic I needed with an addictive love story at its heart. Readers will be swept away by it' Molly Aitken
'Like the wicked child of Fleabag and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Knowing, hilarious, tragic and lust-filled - a gripping gay love story with a touchingly tender heart beneath the plumed hats and codpieces' Sofka Zinovieff
It is 1657, and 24-year-old Marquis Jehan de Baudelaire - Avignon's most striking and sought-after bachelor - is in desperate need of a wife, an heir, and, most urgently, a new valet. Enter Jonathan Kryk, a vision of breath-taking beauty.
Despite his immense wealth and high status, Jehan finds himself ensnared by the rigid constraints of his era and social rank. His longing for the man who tends to him daily, who dresses and bathes him, remains an impossible dream. Spies lurk everywhere - can he trust anyone in his household, even his own family? The ever-watchful eyes of God and the law put him in immense danger.
Lavish and steamy, mischievous and dramatic, Even Beyond Death is the story of a man in love. Not for him a history of military battles and political allegiance, royalty and lineage. With the aid of his disapproving scribe, Jehan wishes to record a memoire of love and tenderness: a 'catalogue of desire'.
Fiona Melrose's daring new novel is a passionate and heart-wrenching tale of the sacrifices we make for true love.

Recenzii
'Prepare to be seduced. Even Beyond Death is a ravishingly flamboyant, risqué delight of a novel. This liaison dangereuse is an exquisite romance - but beware a broken heart'
'The storytelling is so addictive. This is sexy, witty, tense and touching - a terrific achievement'
A feast of a book. Witty and bright. The tonic I needed with an addictive love story at its heart. Readers will be swept away by it
Like the wicked child of Fleabag and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Knowing, hilarious, tragic and lust-filled - a gripping gay love story with a touchingly tender heart beneath the plumed hats and codpieces
Knowing and witty, Fiona Melrose's third novel uses an ingenious narrative conceit to allow Jehan to tell the story of his passion "even beyond death"
This novel is utterly brilliant and I loved it . . . Heart-stopping danger stalks the story, but heart-bursting romance even more so . . . The characters are wonderful and the atmosphere intense. I was completely swept away - and shattered
The historical period and attitudes of the time are very well rendered and immerse the reader in 17th century Avignon... this is a very moving read about forbidden love and the impact of it upon Jehan and, to a lesser extent, Jonathan and also their families

Avignon, 1657. Marquis Jehan Beaudelaire - Avignon's most striking and sought-after bachelor - is in desperate need of a wife, an heir, and, most urgently, a new valet.
Enter Jonathan Kryk, a young Dutch valet seeking employment, and a vision of breathtaking beauty. The Marquis soon finds himself enraptured with Jonathan, while at the same time ensnared by the rigid constraints that his society and rank place on him. His longing for the man remains an impossible dream, albeit one that Jehan deems worth pursuing.
But amongst the lavish world of Avignon's nobility, spies lurk everywhere. Can the Marquis trust anyone in his household, or even his own family?
Sumptuous, steamy and lavishly dramatic, Even Beyond Death is a passionate and heart-wrenching tale of the sacrifices we make for true love.
