DESCRIPTION:
Plus just plain boring. Tried very hard to finish this book and just couldn't. Shallow plot and characters. Plus just plain boring.. Magical and haunting! Well worth a read! I had no doubt that this was going to be a good book as Robert Parry's previous novel "Virgin and the Crab" was superb but it blew me away. After reading the last page of "The Arrow Chest" I sighed and proclaimed to anybody who was listening that it was "beautiful". It's hard to put into words what I mean by "beautiful", but I would say th. A Deliciously Dark and Spellbinding Novel Mr. Parry, thank you for bringing us another of your beautiful novels to enjoy! I didn't think I would find a book much better than his previous work, "The Virgin and the Crab." However, I think I enjoyed "The Arrow Chest" even more!! Set in the latter nineteenth century, this story tells the tale of a painter, Amos Roselli, who is in love

Victorian Gothic blends with ghostly glimpses ofTudor history in this fabulous story of love and destiny.London, 1876. Romantic, atmospheric and deeply dark.. The painter Amos Roselli is in love with his life-long friend and model, the beautiful Daphne - and she with him - until one day she is discovered by another man, a powerful and wealthy industrialist
