About this listen

 July 1209: in Carcassonne a young girl is given a mysterious book by her father which he claims contains the secret of the true Grail. Although Alais cannot understand the strange words and symbols hidden within, she knows that her destiny lies in protecting it. It will take great sacrifice and faith to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe, a secret that stretches back thousands of years to the deserts of Ancient Egypt.

July 2005: Alice Tanner stumbles upon two skeletons during an archaeological dig in the mountains outside Carcassonne. Inside the hidden tomb where the bones lie crumbling, she experiences an overwhelming sense of malevolence, as well as a creeping understanding that, however impossible it seems, she can somehow understand the mysterious ancient words carved into the rock. Too late, Alice realises she's set in motion a terrifying sequence of events that she cannot control and that her destiny is inextricably tied up with the fate of the Cathars 800 years before.

Critic reviews

"A gripping holy grail quest....The story line runs on knowledge and fun, Carcassonne never looked so good." (Sunday Times)

I read this in my teens, and loved it. Now, around ten years later, I still loved it. The two narrators are an excellent way to differentiate between past and present, which could quickly become confusing otherwise. All around a great work, and worth the listen!

Still the great novel I remember

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I didnt get to it.

Was Labyrinth worth the listening time?

No - I struggled to give it a chance but it didn't grab me.

Any additional comments?

Pedestrian writing values - "her pale skin and aqualine features" "her dark fringe of eyelashes " etc etc . Groan...

Ho hum
