Gilgamesh |
We travel from Australia to London and on to the Middle East, as Edith, accompanied by her baby son, searches for Aram, her Armenian lover, and her cousin, Leopold, who arrived together one summer on the brink of WW II in the rural backwater in which she and her family lived. The story of Gilgamesh, fabled king of Mesopotamia, and his quest for enlightenment is the thread which binds them. A mesmerising read.
