«Le jardin des maléfices» is the historical novel by Judith Merkle Riley, published by Presses de la Cité in paperback (517 pages, in French).
At the dawn of the Renaissance, Susanna Dallet, a talented miniaturist and penniless widow, lives by her art. Her gift entangles her in a scheme hatched by the King of England and Cardinal Wolsey: to marry Mary Tudor to Louis XII of France to secure the English crown. But the best-woven intrigues can trap their own architect.
Originally published in 1996, the action takes place between the England of Henry VIII and the France of Louis XII.
For those seeking historical fiction with court intrigues, political plots, and a miniaturist protagonist.
Judith Merkle Riley was an American political scientist and novelist. Writing as Judith A. Merkle, she published Management and Ideology: The Legacy of the International Scientific Management Movement (1980), a study of scientific management reviewed in major historical journals.
