The Buried God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473227982)

"And between the night's rise and fall, the hourly chimes of human existence swing in a quite narrow space. Their tone is eternal desire in miserable struggle and bitterest sweetness."

Two souls come together in an inauspicious marriage and struggle towards their intertwined fates.
