Book Subtitle | A Tragic Comedy About Gerard Manley Hopkins And Five Shipwrecked Nuns |
Book Description | Tim Cleverley inherits a failing pub in Wales, which he plans to rescue by enlisting an American pulp novelist to concoct an entirely fabricated "mystery" about Gerald Manley Hopkins, who composed "The Wreck of the Deutschland" nearby. Blending the real stories of Hopkins and the shipwrecked nuns he wrote about with a contemporary love story, while casting a wry eye on the Dan Brown industry, The Hopkins Conundrum is a highly original mix of commercial fiction, literary biography, and satirical commentary. |
Editorial Review | A splendid mix of literary detection, historical description and contemporary romance. --Michael Arditti |
