Podcasts about vionne

Afl. 84 - Deze keer een nieuwe aflevering met een arts uit een relatief nieuw vakgebied: jeugdarts Vionne van der Borden, tevens in opleiding tot arts maatschappij en gezondheid (M+G). Deze titel zorgt bij ons meteen voor verwarring en daarom wordt er in deze podcast eens goed uitgelegd wat dit vak nou precies inhoudt. Tipje van de sluier? Als jeugdarts zit je niet alleen in de spreekkamer met cliënten, maar ook aan de juiste tafels met beleidsmakers om mee te denken over belangrijke maatschappelijke kwesties rondom gezondheid en preventie. En preventie... dat is hot! Als jeugdarts kun jij invloed uitoefenen op de volwassenen van de toekomst, waardoor preventie in deze groep een grote impact heeft op populatieniveau. Een brede blik op de cliënt en zijn of haar omgeving is daarom cruciaal. Ook hebben wij het met Vionne over het stoffige imago van het vak. Dat is volgens de enthousiaste Vionne heel erg jammer. Onbekend maakt onbemind. Met dit interview zet zij het vak op een vlotte en inspirerende manier op de kaart. Dus, mis jij in het ziekenhuis of tijdens je coschappen het bredere denken en de preventieve kant? Dan zit je misschien bij dit vak wel op de goede plek!

Liza grew up in Wollongong, Australia, where she worked as a general nurse and midwife for fifteen years. When she met her French husband on a Bangkok bus, she moved to France, where she has been living with her husband and three children for twenty years. She works part-time as a French-English medical translator, and as a novelist. Her articles on French culture and tradition have been published in international magazines.  Spirit of Lost Angels is the first in her French historical trilogy, The Bone Angel Series. The second – Wolfsangel – was published in October, 2013, and the third, Blood Rose Angel, will be published in November, 2015. She is a founding member of the author collective, Triskele Books and reviews books for BookMuse. About the book: 1348. A bone-sculpted angel and the woman who wears it––heretic, Devil’s servant, saint.  Midwife Héloïse has always known that her bastard status threatens her standing in the French village of Lucie-sur-Vionne. Yet her midwifery and healing skills have gained the people’s respect, and she has won the heart of the handsome Raoul Stonemason. The future looks hopeful. Until the Black Death sweeps into France.  Terrified that Héloïse will bring the pestilence into their cottage, Raoul forbids her to treat its victims. Amidst the grief and hysteria, the villagers searching for a scapegoat, Héloïse must choose: preserve her marriage, or honour the oath she swore on her dead mother’s soul? And even as she places her faith in the protective powers of her angel talisman, she must prove she’s no Devil’s servant, her talisman no evil charm.  Héloïse, with all her tragedies and triumphs, celebrates the birth of modern medicine, midwifery and thinking in late medieval times. 

The year 1348 is not a good time to be a healer in Europe. Midwife Heloise lives in a cottage outside Lucie-sur-Vionne, where she walks an awkward line between villagers who need her services and others who fear that she owes more to the black arts than their medical counterparts. When she threatens an invading bandit chieftain with the power of her angel talisman, her enemies are more than ever convinced that she dabbles in witchcraft. But Heloisehas sworn an oath on her dead mother’s soul to help those in need, and she refuses to let a few hostile ignoramuses deter her. Le mort bleu–known to history as the Black Death–arrives quietly on a ship from the east. At first, the villagers make little of it. But Heloise’s husband, fresh in from Florence, recognizes the symptoms of the disease that has devastated Italy and orders his wife not to treat the sufferers, lest she bring pestilence into their house. The villagers’ suspicions mount with the body count, and Heloise’s struggle with her husband intensifies as her concern for her family conflicts with her oath. When the local count takes an interest in Heloise’s healing gift, even her talisman may not suffice to protect her. Liza Perrat has written two previous novels in this series, Spirit of Lost Angels and Wolfsangel. Here, in Blood Rose Angel (Triskele Books, 2015) we learn the origins of the talisman and the history of the female healers who pass it from one generation to the next.

Back in July 2012, we broadcast a podcast of Liza Perrat’s debut historical novel, Spirit of Lost Angels. Here, the author reads an extract from the second book in L’Auberge des Anges, series: Wolfsangel, which will be officially launched under the Triskele Books label on 16th November, 2013 at the Chorleywood Literary Festival. 1943. Provincial Lucie-sur-Vionne is under the heel of the German occupation, and as the villagers pursue treacherous schemes to deceive and swindle the enemy, Céleste embarks on her own perilous mission as her passion for a Reich officer flourishes. Wolfsangel is one woman’s unforgettable journey to help liberate Occupied France. Liza Perrat is an Australian living in rural France, and you can read more about her writing, and about the true WWII crime on which Wolfsangel is based, on her website: www.lizaperrat.com
