The Maquisarde Summary
| Hailed by The New York Review of Science Fiction as 'a writer of considerable talent," Louise Marley takes us into the life of a young woman who-spurred by a quest for justice-braves the world outside her sheltered existence. In the final few years of the 21st century, life in Paris is quiet for Ebriel Serique and her family. They live protected by the glass walls of their skyscraper apartment, safe from the poverty-stricken inhabitants in countries on the other side of the Line of Partition. Talented, comfortable, and content, Ebriel never questions her life. Until one day, her husband and daughter go sailing, and are murdered by terrorists who claim their yacht had crossed the Line. Driven by grief and a hunger for justice, Ebriel ventures beyond the confines of her charmed life to confront the truth about the way the world is run. She is now a resistance fighter, a maquisarde, as the old Corsicans put it, against her own deceitful government. And while she never would have suspected it, Ebriel discovers that deep inside, she has the courage for anything-even violence. |
