The Gargoyle
[9781847671691]

by Andrew Davidson
General Books, Fiction, Fiction - The Gargoyle
Paperback
Published: 01/01/09

The nameless and beautiful narrator of The Gargoyleis driving along a dark road when he is distracted by what seems to be a flight of arrows. He crashes into a ravine and wakes up in a burns ward, undergoing the tortures of the damned. His life is over - he is now a monster.

But in fact it is only just beginning. One day, Marianne Engel, a wild and compelling sculptress of gargoyles, enters his life and tells him that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly burned mercenary and she was a nun and a scribe who nursed him back to health in the famed monastery of Engelthal.

As she spins her tale, Scheherazade fashion, and relates equally mesmerising stories of deathless love in Japan, Greenland, Italy and England, he finds himself drawn back to life - and, finally, to love.

A fascinating book. Was intrigued from the start - a very unusual story of a man struggling to overcome terrible injuries from a near-fatal car crash. He meets a woman while recovering in hospital who claims she knew him in a previous life and insists they were and still are lovers...The story takes you all over the world from medieval times to present day.

If you are any way squeamish at all then this book may not be for you but if you can handle the horrendous burn descriptions then you are in for a great love story, Marianne Engel is captivating.
