Bravo for this fascinating story which made me discover the Minoan civilization, with a very generous, courageous and loving Issasara. It’s hard not to draw a parallel with more present times…

Solène C. – Paris (2018-03)

Bravo for your last book which I devoured and adored, I had already appreciated the story of Lazare but I got even more hooked with your female heroine.

ISSASARA’S WILL

AN EPIC IN THE TIMES OF THE MINOANS

The Minoan civilisation flourished for more than 1000 years in Santorini and Crete until, in 1628 BC, the Santorini volcano erupted on a scale without known equivalent. Santorini was wiped out in hours, Crete was ravaged by ash and a tsunami. For many archaeologists this historical event is none other than the tragic end of mythical Atlantis reported by Plato.

A century after the eruption, Minoans were supplanted in Crete by the Mycenaeans. What happened in the meantime? This is what is told in this fiction whose initial events and all the places are historical.

“Beyond the story of this courageous woman who fights against the elements, the spirit of evil and her own despair, in this novel I try to understand how natural events and human behavior can together forge the destiny of civilisations.”
