Inhaltsangabe

Winner of the 2022 Historical Fantasy Award, from the Historical Fiction Company.

Every now and then, you will come across a book that just makes you feel like sighing with joy and happiness and an eagerness to tell the whole world about it. Close your Eyes by Chris Tomasini is one of those. (Mareli Thalwitzer, on Reedsy)

Set in early 1400s Europe, Close Your Eyes is a sincere, yet light-hearted and lustful, ode to love. As Samuel, the court jester, struggles to describe why his friends, Agnieszka the cook, and Tycho the story-teller, fled the King of Gora's service, he learns that love was the beating heart behind everything that happened in the castle. He learns as well that more ghosts than he knew of walked the midnight halls, and that the spirit of Jeanne d'Arc haunted his friend, and once slid into bed with Tycho, daring him to leave - to take to the cold roads of Europe, where he had once wandered orphaned and alone, and find his destiny there.


I enjoyed this book so much that I read it three times, which probably says more than any rating ever could. So you could maybe give it a six, but those review sites only go up to five. The first read pulled me into the story. The second helped me appreciate the details. The third was simply because I wasn’t ready to leave. (Briar's Book Reviews, June 2026)
