Venetian Vespers | By John Banville
Everything was a puzzle, everything a trap set to mystify and hinder me...
Winter 1899, and strange things are afoot. As the new century dawns, English hack writer Evelyn Dolman and his bride, the daughter of a wealthy American plutocrat, travel to Venice for their belated honeymoon. On their arrival at Palazzo Dioscuri - the ancestral home of the charming but treacherous Count Barbarigo - the couple are met by a series of seemingly otherworldly occurrences, exacerbating Evelyn's already frayed nerves.
Is it just the sea mist blanketing the floating city, or is he really losing his mind?
