Synopsis
A provocative new novel with the historical density of Patrick Susskind's Perfume and the multilayered elegance of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. "A dazzling tour de force . . . a fantastic richness of detail and psychological insight . . . steeped in the Vienna of the Hapsburg Empress Maria Theresa. . . ".--Edward Said.

Review
"'So gripping that one reads it at a gallop, almost frantically waiting for more revelations and turns in the story. All in all a brilliant performance' - Edward Said 'Taking historical personalities like toys from a box and giving them new life is the most creative way of playing (in the best sense of the term). It gives another dimension to the theme of this book - the conflict between official medicine and "healers" - and shows that no medicine is effective unless it's based on a philosophy of nature' - Gregor von Rezzoli"
