As religious fervour sweeps 16th-century France, Isabelle’s striking likeness to the Madonna puts her in danger when her village is enraptured by new Protestant doctrine • Four centuries later, Ella Turner moves to the French village of Lisle-sur-Tarn and finds her dreams are haunted by the colour blue.

1792 год, Англия. Семейство Келлавеев переезжает из провинции в Лондон, город величия и порока. В столице неспокойно. За Ла-Маншем бунтует Франция. Всех неблагонадежных и сочувствующих французским революционерам ставят под подозрение – кто не за короля, тот против Бога. Беда приходит и в семью Келлавеев. Дочь Томаса Келлавея, Мейси, становится жертвой похоти сына владельца цирка и дома, в котором они обитают. Сам Томас, отказавшись поставить подпись под декларацией преданности королю, настраивает против себя общество. Единственный, кто не побоялся прийти на помощь изгоям, это Уильям Блейк, поэт, вольнодумец, художник, мистик, умеющий разглядеть в человеке то, что скрыто под его временной оболочкой • "Тигр, светло горящий" - очередной шедевр от Трейси Шевалье
