I haven't ever read anything like this book. And to be honest one of the reasons I picked it up was because it looked gorgeous. I mean physically. Smaller than a “standard” book, a ribbed thick front cover, with a lovely simple illustration on it, decent quality smooth thick paper, clear typeface. I really did judge this book by it's cover. I was certainly rewarded!

Written by a Hungarian, translated into English, about a Hungarian scholar who is in Wales. A strange setting. Gothic, dry, mystery, romance, intrigue - all these words I use to describe the story! Following Janos Batky in his quest to discover the secrets of his host, the Earl of Gwynedd. Things are not as they seem in his posh country manor!

I hate talking about the content of stories too much, just read it.
