Synopsis

It is 1955 and a 15-year-old girl, seeking adventure, escapes the greyness of post-war London for the cobbles, sunshine and romance of an ancient Catalan city.

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...

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 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.
