Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Picador Edition. Paperback. The year is 1849.an exotic singer and dancer named Magdalena Colon drowns while being ferried across the ice-clogged Hudson River. The entertainer's body and the shivering form of her surviving niece Maud are fished out of the current. Madness and miracles rapidly accrue. While the city suffers freak disaster on 'this day of hellfire and ice', Magdalena is chafed back to life by the indelicate and unnatural ministrations of John the Brawn, who pulled her out of the river. The person who witnesses and reports all this is Daniel Quinn, an orphan approchaing his 15th birthday whp works for the roguish John the Brawn. This night is the making of Quin and his book, for it is then that he falls helplessly in love with Maud and launches himself on the adventures that will eventually learn to capture in words. 289 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
