THE SCANDALOUS AND HEARTBREAKING SECRET HISTORY OF TWO SQUABBLING SIBLINGS - AND THEIR CONFIDANTES, PROTECTORS AND ENEMIES
Janice Shriek, ex-society figure, narrates this tale with flamboyant intensity and under increasingly urgent conditions. We follow the adventures of her brother Duncan - an historian obsessed with a doomed love affair - and learn of a secret that may kill or transform him.
We witness a war between rival publishing houses that will change the city of Ambergris forever. And we're introduced to the grey caps, a marginalized people armed with advanced fungal technologies. They've been waiting underground for their chance to mould the future of the city. This is an epic yet personal look at life, love and death in a vividly imagined landscape.
'Unsettling, erudite, dark, shot through with unexpected humour'
CHINA MIÉVILLE
'Challenging, intelligent and downright fun'
GUARDIAN
'There are touches of Borges and Nabokov as well as H. P. Lovecraft in this tale of changing fortunes and shifting relationships . . . atmospheric'
