Book Description Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. In Elaine Feinstein's new novel, which is wider in scale and more fascinating in theme than any of her previous books, a group of English tourists on a Golden Wonder holiday in Istanbul find themselves involved in a re-enactment of a seventeenth century legend, and a chain of events with bizarre consequence for the whole world. The story ranges across present-day Europe, East and West, charting prejudice, brutality and longing for apocalyptic change. The mood of the tale moves from gentle irony to black farce; with time for the misadventures of Howard, middle-aged accountant and his wife, as well as magnificent monsters like Lilian the astrologer and Anastasia, Russian aristocrat and drug -smuggler extraordinary. At the centre of the legend, hidden (like the master of a seventeenth century shadow-puppet show) stands a figure of enormous and controversial authority whose own role we do not come to understand until the book comes to its powerful close.
