Vanitha Sankaran's Historical Fiction Novel Watermark Has Been Sold to Avon Books by Marly Rusoff

In a time when the medieval Church and the growing middle class are at odds, Auda, the voiceless daughter of a minor papermaker, uses her father’s wares to write stories of love and nobility. Her verses capture the attention of the town’s rulers, a handsome painter, a band of heretics, and the Inquisition, all who bring great changes to her life, for good or for ill. This exciting novel tells Auda’s story of love, longing, and the need to find her place in the world. - March 18, 2009
