The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps: The Courage Consort Zusammenfassung

The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps: The Courage Consort Michel Faber

Sian, troubled by dark dreams and seeking distraction, joins an archaeological dig at Whitby. The abbey's one hundred and ninety-nine steps link the twenty-first century with the ruins of the past and Sian is swept into a mystery involving a long-hidden murder, a fragile manuscript in a bottle and a cast of most peculiar characters. Equal parts historical thriller, romance and ghost story, this is an ingenious literary page-turner and is completely unforgettable.

THIS EDITION ALSO FEATURES MICHEL FABER'S NOVELLA THE COURAGE CONSORT

The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps: The Courage Consort Bewertungen

Part historical thriller, part gothic romance, part ghost story, it is further confirmation that its author is a singular talent with a unique perception of the universe. * * Sunday Herald * *
This is a man who could give Conrad a run at writing the perfect sentence. * * Guardian * *
Engrossing . . . the writing is spare and evocative and Sian's slow return to health is powerfully wrought. * * The Times * *
With impressive subtlety and economy, Faber raises questions about . . . the way in which the past haunts the present and the invisible undercurrents lying beneath human relations. * * Evening Standard * *
Visits the strangest of places and makes them real. * * Scotsman * *
