Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. From Barbara Hodgson, author of The Sensualist, The Tattooed Map, and Hippolyte's Island, comes another exquisite work of illustrated fiction.

Interweaving poetic prose and evocative illustration, Hodgson tells the story of an Englishman, Julian, transfixed by the beautiful house he's inherited. When threatened with the loss his beloved house, he struggles to unravel its history and his deep connection to it. All the while, a strangely protective and tender being hovers in the shadows, confounding Julian's attempts to hold onto both his home and his grip on reality. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. In the spring of 1914, a restless young man leaves England for a tour of the exotic east. A bit of Egypt, a glimpse of Syria, a nod to Constantinople that's all that was supposed to happen. Instead, Julian Beaufort becomes mesmerized. Wandering in idle admiration through the labyrinthine streets of Damascus, he stumbles upon Bait Katib, a house that takes possession of his heart. It is elegant; it is ancient; and it is, after a bit of negotiation with the owner, his. He has every intention of staying there for the rest of his life. But the world doesn't relinquish its hold so easily. Two bloody wars -- one in Europe and one in Syria -- leave Julian wounded and the city of Damascus in ruins. He returns from battle to find his precious house still standing, but no longer entirely his. It seems someone else may be occupying the shadows of Bait Katib. A mystery, a love story, and a journey to a sepia-toned past, Barbara Hodgson's new illustrated novel will haunt and delight her many devoted readers and tempt legions more to take a guided journey into another world.…
