'One of the most original and brilliant debuts in years' Irish Times An exhilarating and fiercely original story of brotherhood, war and art, set in ancient Sicily
Ancient Sicily. Enter GELON- visionary, dreamer, theatre lover. Enter LAMPO- lovesick, jobless, in need of a distraction.
Imprisoned in the quarries of Syracuse, thousands of defeated Athenians hang on by the thinnest of threads.
They're fading in the baking heat, but not everything is lost- they can still recite lines from Greek tragedy when tempted by Lampo and Gelon with goatskins of wine and scraps of food.
And so an idea is born. Because, after all, you can hate the invaders but still love their poetry.
It's audacious. It might even be dangerous. But like all the best things in life - love, friendship, art itself - it will reveal the very worst, and the very best, of what humans are capable of.
What could possibly go wrong?
Ideal for readers interested in modern & contemporary.
