"An emotionally intense drama with a satisfying, unexpected conclusion."

-Kirkus Reviews

"In this complex and beautifully written novel that takes place in both Colonial America and Southwestern France, David Loux explores the meaning of love and family."

-Historical Novels Society Reviews

"Loux is a master at subtlety of character. . . .  [The Lost Seigneur] is a hauntingly beautiful story of grief, tenacity, and silent triumph that is written with elegance, historical accuracy, and emotional depth."" -Historical Fiction Company

"David Loux’s The Lost Seigneur eschews the modern shallow trend, displaying a breathtaking character development hard to find in today’s book marketplace . . . [Loux] asks the questions one asks when one is confronted with a traumatic exposure to the past . . . Similar questions are asked by Julien in The Dream of Scipio by Iain Pears and by Alma in The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert, two novels to which The Lost Seigneur can share a stage."

-Los Angeles Review

"The Lost Seigneur is David Loux's second novel about the du Laux family, in which the story of its patriarch, Jean-Pierre du Laux, unfolds . . .  Mr Loux has rendered with fine strokes, the story of a family, and the forces in the Old World and the New that shaped it." 

--MaryEllen Beveridge. Author of After the Hunger and Permeable Boundaries.

“In David Loux’s sequel, The Lost Seigneur, to his award-winning first novel, Chateau Laux, the reader is again rewarded with exquisite writing, a finely plotted story and immersion into a family saga of love, loyalty, tragedy and triumph.” -Barbara Stark-Nemon, Author of Even in Darkness, and Hard Cider.

"The Lost Seigneur: A Château Laux Odyssey" by David Loux is a mesmerising journey that ensnares readers right from the opening line, drawing them into a meticulously crafted tale of emotional depth. . . . This captivating story unfolds the delicate dance between loss and redemption, illuminating the beauty found in mending what has been broken.”

-Coffee Pot Book Club
