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-Désert in 1305 they discover being impartial,distant and objective just doesn't work when you're surroundedby the smells, dust and heat of a foreign land.They're only human after all.But by the time Artemisia is able to convinceothers that it's time to worry,it's already too late.'Viscerally powerful, deeply felt, strongly written: Langue[dot]doc 1305 challenges reader expectations of time travel, of 'Grim-dark' and of mediaeval life and brings a haunting, authentic voice both to the past and to the struggles facing the present.'~ Kari Sperring, author of Living With Ghosts
