extract from an article
1972, the Romancière talks about the two
upcoming sequels concerning the
Catherine Saga which
had ended in 1968 with
Catherine and a Time for love - being the
only Novel with an Epiloge! It was her aim to show
her readers how life really was for women at the time of the
'Hundred Year
War' !

UK
Pan books Edition for 'A Snare
for Catherine'.
So far I have not been able to discover who designed
in 1977
the dust jacket. The sixth Novel ended with a
terrible cliffhanger for which the English Readers
had to wait over forty years to find out what
happened to the heroine and if there would be a
happy-end between her and her husband the Count of
Montsalvy...!
The
re-issued Catherine series are dedicated to Linda
Compagnoni Walther by the wish of the late
Juliette Benzoni.

Film
Adaption in 1968 of
Catherine, il suffit d'un amour
Director
'Bernard Borderie',
the same man who had already directed the
Angélique films (after the books by Anne Golon).
Juliette was extremely disappointed by the end
product, because they had turned her story into a
Political unrest, inspired by the '1968 Paris
riots'! The original story was no longer recognisable!
I can only agree with her. I have decided to create
an extra page with photos and it is under
construction The movie had after all some
international Stars which deserve to be mentioned -
like Olga Georges-Picot, Claude Brasseur, Horst
Frank and Francine Bergé.
Music by Michel Magne - who already composed the
Film music for the
Angélique films.

Synopsis : A Trap for Catherine |
As Arnaud, the Lord of Montsalvy, rode off proudly one
frosty morning
on his black charger, accompanied by his knights, and made for Paris and
its liberation from the English, he felt intoxicated by the
prospect of the
battle to come. Neither he nor Catherine, ever imagined that
soon Catherine
would face far harder struggles alone.
Knowing that Arnaud has left, a band of routiers, the
Achpiers, besiege the
castle with ruthless determination. Although the town
manages to hold off the
attack, the Lady of Montsalvy, finds she has to reckon with
the cunning of
Béralt d'Apchier. When he sends one of his sons to Arnaud in
Paris falsely
to accuse Catherine of adultery and betrayal, Catherine
knows that to save
her marriage - she must escape from Montsalvy and go to
Paris herself.
Catherine's all-consuming passion for Arnaud carries her on
against every
adversity, every desperate setback. Her love for him is
tested to the limits
as she confronts the atrocities of war, torture and despair
and... Arnaud's part in them... |
