June is the youngest, prettiest and most
vivacious of the five highly desirable daughters of a successful business man
who, with a will of iron and principles of steel, decides that they will only
marry the husbands he approves of, and only as and when he considers it
appropriate for them to do so. For the daughters who comply with his
wishes there will be guaranteed social status and a life of financial ease; for
those who defy him there will be disgrace and disinheritance. When the
heart-stoppingly handsome, fabulously gifted and European-educated Mr. Piano Man
comes to town, there is no question that he is a suitable suitor, and June's
elder sister, Minnelsa, has been identified as next in line for the wedding
bells. However it is the physically irresistible and wilfully spirited June who
makes the Piano Man's joints jive and fingers itch, and the attraction is
mutual, not to say volcanic. So which music will the Piano Man play -
the traditional waltz or the good-time get-down-and-boogie? Will he live a life
of adventure or a life of security? Will love conquer all, or will all
conquer love, and life? Views: 7
### Review
`A beautiful and haunting book...A charming and deeply imaginative novel.' --Aesthetica
`Lyrical in his descriptions on the land of the midnight sun' --Daily Mail
`Burnside's prose has been frequently praised for its clarity, poetic sonority and fine cadences. It is certainly so here ... A Summer of Drowning marries philosophical meditation with the gooseflesh verve of a thriller' --Scotland on Sunday
'It's very, very rare for a writer to be equally good at poems and novels. John Burnside is. He's a brilliant poet, a brilliant memoirist, and a brilliant novelist ... There are, says Liv, "two kinds of seeing". One is about finding "what we have always been told is there". The other is about going "out alone in the world", like "a boy going out into the fields, or along the shore" who finds that "something creeps in at the edge of his vision". John Burnside is breathtakingly good at both' --The Independent
`The most defining aspect of Burnside's work aside from its linguistic exactness is the beauty of his prose. Quite simply, he is a wonderful writer. Whatever he is writing always seems real and, considering much of the content of this new novel, that is a considerable asset for any storyteller' --Irish Times
`memorable, atmospheric and compelling' --TLS
`Burnside allows the ambiguity to remain in a hauntingly memorable book.' --Sunday Times
`The novel invites you to view storytelling as akin to madness...In a book that often makes coded reference to itself to provoke serious thought as to what fiction is about, this counts as a joke. Its evasions may discomfit those who like to know exactly where they stand, but those who enjoy being teased as well as spooked should relish an eerie, ethereal novel that alludes to Lewis Carroll and uses methods of Hitchcock and David Lynch' --Daily Telegraph
`In this beautifully sustained novel madness, mystery and myth-making collide. Burnside has an eerie attunement to the ineffable nature of existence and the fictions we construct to navigate and explain it' --Financial Times
`Burnside is an accomplished and careful writer. And this is a beautiful book, compelling and strange.' --The Times
`Unsettling, hauntingly memorable tale.' --The Sunday Times
`Written with deceptive elegance, riddled with gaps and non sequiturs and a clever travesty of several genres, this is a disturbing, provocative book'. --The Guardian
### Book Description
A terrifying and dream-like new novel from one of our greatest contemporary writers. Views: 7
Library Journal Science Fiction/Fantasy Debut of the Month (April 2013)Reimagining the Greek Gods of Olympus and placing them on modern Earth, this urban fantasy novel focuses on Plato Jones, who, after a stint with the Olympic Bureau of Investigation, is through with the Gods and their political games. While at first glance the Gods of Olympus are as different from one another as salt is from sugar, and despite their bickering, they share a universal bond, a thread of commonality that unites them: they’re all jerks. Against Plato’s protests, he’s drawn into a murder investigation where the murderer’s targets are the Gods themselves. Plato has cracked some tough cases: exposing cheating spouses, capturing treasonous heretics, and hunting three-headed dogs, but this time he’s in over his head. How can he solve a crime that’s impossible to commit? And what chance does Plato—a mere mortal—have against something powerful enough to kill a God?About the AuthorRobert B. Warren is the author of the Plato Jones series. He lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Views: 7
