The extraordinary true story of one woman's journey to the heart of the
Grail legend
It is 1955 and a fifteen-year-old girl, seeking adventure, escapes the
greyness of post-war London for the cobbles, sunshine and romance of
an ancient Catalan city. When she falls in love with the place she
also falls for its charismatic leader.As the years pass and the girl
becomes a woman, she returns again and again to Girona and to her
lover, the enigmatic José Tarres. She meets captivating characters and
hears about visions, a strangely wealthy priest, a fabulous garden
owned by a Frenchwoman... Cast as the detective in her own story, she
finds herself caught up in a world she barely knew existed.The rich
priest was none other than the Abbé Saunière of Rennes-le-Château, and
the mysteries surrounding him are at the very heart of the modern
Grail legend – the stuff of bestselling novels and movies, historical
analysis and esoteric intrigue. The people she has known for so many
years, including José, belong to a secret society that guards
Saunière's legacy. Now they ask her to be their messenger. It is time,
they say, to present some of their closely guarded secrets to the
world. The astonishing result is City of Secrets.Patrice
