  <default_description>In this brilliantly haunting new novel, John Banville forges an unforgettable amalgam of enchantment and menace that suggests both The Tempest and his own acclaimed The Book of Evidence. &quot;A surreal and exquisitely lyrical new novel by one of the great stylists writing in English today.&quot;--Boston Globe.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A very intriguing, beautifully written novel, but not what I ever thought I'd like. There's no plot, it's rambling, emotionally diffuse and self-indulgent . . . so why did I like it so well that I'm going to start the sequel, Athena, immediately?
