In a small town in southwestern France, among the relics and historical papers in the local museum, a writer uncovers an unusual scroll dating back to the twelfth century. The document is the work of a renowned troubadour named Marcebru, and it eulogises the great love of his life, a beautiful young nun named Amedee de Jois.
Marcebru's poignant tribute inspires the writer on a pilgrimage through the Provencal countryside - retracing the troubadour's steps eight centuries earlier - in an attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding Amadee's untimely death. In the process, the writer discovers a land steeped in the distant past, a history rich with esoteric philosophies, religious conflict, and the belief in the transformative ideal of perfect love. Part mystery, part exploration into the limits and power of language, 'A Troubadour's Testament' takes the reader on a fascinating historical journey of self-discovery.
