A Life Worth Living

By Elaine Pryce

A father haunted by his past and the impact of a shocking fact of history on his life. A mother determined to move on from a still-longed-for past, and failing. A fearless Duchess, refusing conformity. A hermit friar wrestling with his past, and the looming power of the Church. A daughter, unwanted by her mother and denied choice over her life who finds solace in books and learning, and within an unhappy arranged marriage and heartbreak, a calling of wolves. Each in their own way on a quest - driven by a need to resolve the past, to reckon with the present, to create a life worth living. But at what cost?

Set in seventeenth-century France, during the reign of Louis XIV, in a Europe torn by war, poverty, deadly disease, religious persecution and life-threatening weather-events, Jeanne-Marie Bouvier Guyon, her family and wider community play out their lives against a background of both the grandeur and fateful realities of the time.
