Treasure of Montsegur - a different interpretation

[anonymous]

The title of this book (Treasure of Montsegur) is also the title (in Portugese) of another book by a different author published several years ago (before Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code). One of the first historical fiction accounts of the Cathars, Nita Hughes' book in English is called "Past Recall" and was followed by a second book in her series called "The Cathar Legacy". I've read pretty much everything written (in English) about the Cathars, and I believe most readers will find Nita's first book one of the most captivating and historically accurate (within the confines of fiction). Taking place across two time periods 800 years apart, the story weaves magically between two women who have a connection to the enlightened beliefs of the Cathars which are presented with a passionate exploration of how such ideas might play out in today's society as well as the darker ages of a medieval past. An excerpt from the book and an audio interview with the author is available on her website at www.NitaHughes.com. She is also offering a workshop
