Description - City of Desolation: The Balance of Love and Despair by John Ward
The conclusion of this fabulously successful trilogy - translated into 11 languages already - is a riveting page-turner mixing fantasy, literature and history into an aromatic, gripping story that cannot be put down. Jake, a teenager from Glasgow, and Helen, from Geneva, confront, through an adventure tale that started at a literary festival in Florence and ends, like Orpheus, with an escape from hell, discover friendship and love through an amazing array of characters like Dante, Thomas Aquinas, Virgil, Michael Scot and others. Along this eminently readable way the reader finds unusual and stirring events like metempsycosis, face-shifting, and ships that sail the streets of Hades on wheels. A prequel is planned for 2007.
