The Stress of Her Regard Summary

The Stress of Her Regard by Tim Powers

Lake Geneva, 1816
As Byron and Shelley row on the peaceful waters of Lake Geneva, a sudden squall threatens to capsize them. But this is no natural event - something has risen from the lake itself to attack them.

Kent, 1816
Michael Crawford's wife is brutally murdered on their wedding night as he sleeps peacefully beside her - and a vengeful ghost claims Crawford as her own husband.

Crawford's quest to escape his supernatural wife will force him to travel the Continent in the company of the most creative, most doomed poets of his age. Byron, Keats and Shelley all have a part to play in his fate, and the fate of Europe.

The Stress of Her Regard Reviews

Tim Powers has long been one of my absolutely favourite writers. * PETER STRAUB *
Philip K. Dick felt that one day Tim Powers would be one of our greatest fantasy writers. Phil was right. * ROGER ZELAZNY *
Historical fact, dazzling flights of imagination, and wonderful suspense. * DEAN KOONTZ *
Powers' novels are big in every sense: vast in scope, philosophically deep, impeccably wrought. * Guardian *
One of the most original and innovative writers of fantasy currently working. * Washington Post *
