One more sleep…
Tomorrow - 20 April 2021 - is release day for Miss Agnès! The first book in The Agnès Duet.
Oh yes.
So let me share some background imagery today of things that are important to the young Agnès in this new novella. First of all there is her old sheepdog Gåva, who she was brought back from the country of her birth - Sweden - and who guards her despite being blind and almost deaf. Gåva means ‘gift’ in Sweden.
Then there is Agnès’s love for books, reading for hours in her father’s garden in Picardy, citing passages aloud and living inside the heads of her heroines. Another delight is having afternoon tea with her father the Baron Maximilian Dupuis de Dragancourt, who is actually her stepfather.
The darker part of the novella starts when father and daughter head to Château de Dragancourt also in Picardy, where Agnès meets the ‘terrible twins’, Jacques and Elle. A modern day Agnès, Jacques and Elle would have looked something like this in my imagination.
Last day on preorder. Live tomorrow.
