Startling novel by one of the greatest living writers of fiction...It is about people, the marvelously lifelike, intelligent, and agonizingly star-crossed people we have come to know in West's earlier novels-.
West weaves these characters together in a masterful pattern and the canvas is so brilliant it startles the reader with its beauty. Here is everything...love, intrigue, sanctity and suffering. It is without question West's greatest work.
