Slight browning through age to edge of back D/J. This book is set in three places. The first is a village, high in the mountains. An old woman lives there. Although we never learn her name or much about her, she is the one who tells us the story of Lilac and Flag. 'Lilac' and 'Flag' are the pet names of a young man and woman, struggling to find a way to be lovers. They disappear into Troy. Troy is the second place of the novel. There is a third place in the novel, and it is the most strange. It appears to be a ship, although it is one that can travel on both water and land. It is entirely white and every cabin is frist class. It has no lifeboats or lifebelts, and no one seems to be in any danger. No one seems to be in a hurry. Everyone seems to have all the time in the world.213 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
