Inhaltsangabe

A gripping story of modern-day love and old-fashioned revenge. He is not quite as clever as he thinks he is. She is smarter than she seems.

Jasper thinks that he has found the perfect life. A world-class calligrapher and a serial seducer, he is happily transcribing the immortal Songs and Sonnets of John Donne for his wealthy patron. But when a shameless infidelity catches up with him, things begin to unravel. Worse still, one afternoon the perfect woman turns up beneath his studio window and he realizes that he will have to abandon everything to win her.

Brilliantly written, stylish and very funny, The Calligrapher is about the difference between men and women, about deception and honesty, and the timeless pursuit of love.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A gripping story of modern-day love and old-fashioned revenge about a man who is not quite as clever as he thinks, and a woman who is much smarter than she seems.

Jasper Jackson has a life most men would kill for. The greatest living calligrapher, he divides his time between womanising, transcribing the 'Songs and Sonnets' of John Donne and contending with his friend Will – a subversive aristocrat who runs a tramp orchestra. But when the perfect woman turns up half-naked beneath his studio window, Jasper abandons all others to concentrate on seducing her. Madeleine though is every bit his match and not at all as she first appears…

Brilliantly written, stylish and very funny, 'The Calligrapher' is about two people who pit their wits against each other and fall in love just when the contest is at its most intense.
