This is a glorious story of a family of Huguenots in Africa and Catholics from Cork led by a beautiful mother who could not resist men, let alone men of the cloth, and her gaggle of offspring who lived more in their short lives than most who turn 100.Great Danes riding coffins into graves by an African lakeside accompanied by a chorus of a thousand flamingos and an African choir of three hundred hungry mourners. Souls arriving onto Golden Carousels twirling in subterranean chambers beneath Cork Harbour in Ireland. Deaths, funerals, celebrations and escapades trace a clan over two centuries: life, murder, laughter, touched with fun and endless optimism. Seldom has an epic family drama captivated one more from first sentence to last. The sublime, through the ridiculous to the fantastical and supernatural, it is a tale beautifully told with a rich mix of hilarity, pathos and pinpoint historical accuracy by one who was there.About the Author:Count Charles Huguenot is the nom de plume of a reputed international business consultant and hotelier. Drawing from decades of ridiculous, hilarious and life affirming experiences, ably assisted by a cornucopia of characters he writes fictional tales which carry both parables and practical advise while avoiding the landmines of litigation. The Count lives quietly on a remote Greek island with his cat and a drove of quite delightful donkeys.His mantra is "If it all feels under control, you simply aren't going fast enough. Live life and die in style."Further books: the second in the trilogy 'Huguenot Court' is due out in early 2020 and the third, Shadowlands is promised later in 2020.
