It is 1704 and, while the Sun King Louis XIV rules France from the splendour of Versailles, Louisiana, the new and vast colony named in his honour, is home to fewer than two hundred souls. When a demand is sent requesting wives be dispatched for the struggling settlers, Elisabeth is among the twenty-three girls who set sail from France to be married to men of whom they know absolutely nothing. Educated and skeptical, Elisabeth has little hope for happiness in her new life. It is to her astonishment that she, alone among the brides, finds herself passionately in love with her new husband, Jean-Claude, a charismatic and ruthlessly ambitious soldier.

Auguste, a poor cabin boy from Rochefort, must also adjust to a startlingly unexpected future. Abandoned in a remote native village, he is charged by the colony’s governor with mastering the tribe’s strange language while reporting back on their activities. It is there that he is befriended by Elisabeth’s husband as he begins the slow process of assimilation back into life among the French.

The love Elisabeth and Auguste share for Jean-Claude changes both of their lives irrevocably. When in time he betrays them both, they find themselves bound together in ways they never anticipated.

With the same compelling prose and vividly realized characters that won her widespread acclaim for THE GREAT STINK and THE NATURE OF MONSTERS, Clare Clark takes us deep into the heart of colonial French Louisiana.

Review:
"Vivid with historical details, characters intense with drama. A story to lose yourself in,satisfying read for lovers of period fiction"
--The Times

`... intricately plotted and thick with intrigue, Savage Lands gives us an insight into an overlooked era.' -- TLS

"Clare Clark's story and her history ring absolutely and very sadly true." --Guardian Review

'Richly and densely textured, serious, intelligent, passionately written, and with more than a hint of gothic...'
--Sunday Times

`Clark writes vivid, vigorous prose and her descriptions ... are very well done ... Clare Clark is a writer of promise' --Literary Review

‘What a vivid and complete world Clare Clark has created in Savage Lands – an extraordinary feat of imagination, and a sustained feat of recovery. Clare Clark is one of those writers who can see into the past and help us feel its texture. I am intensely curious to know what she will do next.’ --Hilary Mantel
Book Description:
Love and betrayal among the first French settlers in the New World. Historial fiction at its absolute best - page-turning, though-provoking, heart-breaking.
