Description
This mordantly witty and profoundly entertaining novel explores the twin destinies of Giles Fox, a lecherous, twice-widowed medievalist who has lost his sight during eighteen years devoted to the transcription and translation of the thirteenth-century Treatise of Heavenly Love, and of his daughter, Tibba, a lovely, stammering seventeen-year-old whose daydreams are full of characters out of Virginia Woolf and Jane Austen.
