Customer Reviews

A dark red

Perhaps this very compelling read should be entitled:'A dark red' or something similar. Why: because the novel takes the reader on an enjoyably 'dark' journey in time and space. It is a very varied journey, but my favourite part of the voyage takes place in eighteenth century - revolutionary France, where I really felt like a 'fly on the wall' in history. I won't elaborate: enjoy finding out for yourself!

Red

An intriguing journey through time and space in which mystery is surpassed only by sexual tension.

Difficult to categorise...

A very unusual Faustian epic told in 3 non-linear parts with 3 twists/twisted endings, written eloquently yet playfully in cinematic episodes, that celebrates beauty, cities, history, architecture, 20th Century art film and literature, people, wine and food... and much more besides.

Synopsis...

This is a celebration of one man's extraordinary life - a life that spans oceans and centuries. In part, Red is a literary thriller in the European tradition, focusing on mysterious art collectors and the curious machinations of Dr Mabuse (who may or may not be the Devil). But, as it moves cinematically from the English Civil War to the Mexican Revolution and from Venice to New York, there is much more to this story.
