New York bookseller Anne Poe Lehr says of ILLUMINATIONS, "I have read an enormous amount in half a century, but nothing like this book. I give it my highest recommendation!" Well-known Australian author Sophie Masson calls it a "very fine novel" and says "it is a journey deep into the heart of Arthurian myth, of the numinous, and of the human soul." ABOUT THE BOOK ILLUMINATIONS is the tale of Rose, an Australian medievalist on sabbatical in modern France. Most of her attention is focused on her research, on buying books, and on the odd behavior of her boyfriend. She finds an inexplicable manuscript that tells the story of Ailinn and Guenloie, two women who lived in Arthurian Britain. Ailinn is determined to solve the world's problems and Guenloie searches for success, romance, and her father. Rose's world parallels theirs. And theirs is about to come to an agonizing close.
