Outremer

Outremer is a novel of faith and heresy, loyalty and intrigue, set in the 13th century Levant. Aimeric and his young family seek peace in the Maronite community of Gibelet under Mount Lebanon, but there too he is entangled in conflicts. Oriental and Western Christians, Mamelukes and other Muslims, Jews and Druzes spend their lives in war and peace, compromise and confrontation, as their heirs do today as if nothing has changed and no lessons learned.
