New deal listed on today’s Publishers Lunch:
Vanitha Sankaran’s WATERMARK set in 1320 in Narbonne, France, when church-controlled parchment made paper making a near-heresy, told by a young albino mute woman the literate daughter of a papermaker imprisoned when the inquisition finds her using paper to write troubadour poetry about courtly love, to Lucia Macro at Avon, by Marly Rusoff at Marly Rusoff & Associates (NA).
Albinism, mutism, parchment cartel, Inquisition, secret papermaking — same old, same old, eh?
