Blurb: “A book filled with strange, rich effects unlike those in any other contemporary novel' - Chicago Tribune
The Book of the Night is science fiction at its most challenging and allusive. On the island of lona, where the tenth century co-exists with the twentieth, where the old Celtic gods fight against the rising power of Rome, where science and religion are locked in combat, Celeste, girl-child disguised as a boy, reaches puberty.
The awakening of powerful sexual desire pushes her into the chaos that exists behind the apparent order of nature and the created order of human culture.”
