About This Item

London: Bloomsbury, 2008. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. x + 340 pages. Page marker bound in. Elizabeth Stavely sits in the Bodleian Library with trembling hands. Before her is a precious fragment of parchment which has a dusty fragrance of roses, of sadness and great age. Here is the clue she has been looking for: the key to a story untold for 400 years. Constantinople, 1599: merchants from all over the world are vying with each other to gain trading rights in the Ottoman Empire. The book is a multi-layered tale of ancient alliances and intrigues, of forbidden love and dangerous secrets, vividly depicted, and filled with the colours, sights and scents of 16th century Constantinople.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
