It is 1704 and, in the swamps of Louisiana, France is clinging to its new colony with less than two hundred men. Into this hostile land comes Elisabeth Savaret, one of twenty-three women sent from Paris to marry men they have never met. With little expectation of happiness, Elisabeth is stunned to find herself falling passionately in love with her husband, infantryman Jean-Claude Babelon.
But Babelon is a dangerous man to love. Witness to Elisabeth's devotion is another of his acolytes, Auguste, a young boy despatched to act a go-between with the 'redskins'. When both Elisabeth and Auguste find their love challenged by Babelon's duplicity, the consequences are devastating.
'Richly and densely textured, serious, intelligent, passionately written, and with more than a hint of gothic' The Sunday Times
'Clark writes vivid, vigorous prose... A writer of promise' Literary Review
'Intricately plotted and thick with intrigue, Savage Lands gives us an insight into an overlooked era' Times Literary Supplement
