'There are people involved. That's the first mistake. Scientists were never meant to be part of history. Anything in the past is better studied from the present. It's safer. When a team of Australian scientists and a lone historian travel back to St-Guilhem-le-Desert in 1305 they discover being impartial, distant and objective just doesn't work when you're surrounded by the smells, dust and heat of a foreign land.They're only human after all. But by the time Artemisia is able to convince others that it's time to worry, it's already too late.' (Publication summary)
