      About This Book

      The renowned author delivers a "hypnotic" tale of obsession, truth and lies in this "immensely rich and readable novel…a remarkable achievement"  (Time).

      In the spring of 1736, four men and one woman, all traveling under assumed names, are crossing the Devonshire countryside en route to a mysterious rendezvous. Before their journey ends, one of them will be hanged, one will vanish, and the others will face a murder trial. Out of the truths and lies that envelop these events, John Fowles has created a novel that is at once a tale of erotic obsession, an exploration of the conflict between reason and superstition, an astonishing act of literary legerdemain, and the story of the birth of a new faith.
