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.
San Francisco, CA, March 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- It is 1320, a time when writing, reading, and control of the more costly parchment supplies are under control of the Church, whose corruption is causing discontent and rebellion among the middle class. A minor papermaker in the small town of Narbonne, in southern France, has the means for the masses to discover their voice; his mute daughter, and her tales of love and honor, might be beacon that leads the town to him. As the papermaker’s fortune changes, what rewards await him and his daughter? Will their newfound fame bring them riches and renown, or more sinister notice by those who would not see the power of the Church falter?
