Woodend author Karen Martin’s latest book, The Bringer of Happiness, leans into time travel and stretches the imagination.
Sara is the daughter of Mary Magdalene and has always been different: she can time travel forward into other people’s bodies.
When Sara, whose Aramaic name means ‘bringer of happiness’, wakes up in Sarah-Marie, a young Cathar girl from Montségur, she believes it is her destiny to rescue her from the 13th Century siege.
By saving Sarah-Marie, Sara hopes to safeguard her mother’s gospel.
In this story of death, destiny and soul’s purpose, we join Sara as she journeys from Jerusalem to Egypt to Crete and finally to France heeding her call.
From the award-winning writer and director of The Women’s Jail Project and author of Dancing the Labyrinth, comes an evocative tale that unashamedly merges renowned historical characters and events in a spellbinding story of destiny.
The Bringer of Happiness will officially be launched on Saturday December 10 at the Tap Room, Holgates Hotel, Woodend at 3pm. Everyone is welcome.
