Description
Pre-owned. From the day that he follows her home from the auto-da-fe where her mother is condemned and sent into exile, the two are bound body and soul by a love of unassailable strength. A third party shares their supper that evening: Padre Bartolemeu Lourenço, whose fantasy is to invent a flying machine. As the inquisition rages and royalty and religion clash, they pursue his impossible, not to mention heretical, dream of flight. Bound in dark green cloth with very good but price-clipped dust jacket. Some tanning to edges, but a good, tight copy. Hardcover. Published by Jonathan Cape 1988. Weight 530g
