Krátky popis
'Superbly told' The Times'Richly imagined' Sunday Times'An
engrossing, seamlessly written deliberation on the enduring power
of art' Mail on SundayAssyria, in the reign of Ashurbanipal. For
Aurya and Sharo, every day is a struggle for survival. One evening,
everything changes.Soon, they are on the barge of King
Ashurbanipal, bound for the city of Nineveh. Their fates become
inextricably bound to that of the king - and the injured lion
captured by his men. Twenty-six centuries later, British-Iraqi
archaeologist Katya joins a dig in Mosul to protect the ancient
ruins of Nineveh from looters.But the real world crashes in to
their studious idyll when ISIL storm Mosul - and take Katya, Salim
and local girl Lola hostage. 'Dual timeline novels often fail: one
strand is more interesting than the other, or the links between the
two are contrived. Not here.Both stories are superbly told and
share the same preoccupation - the coexistence of cruelty and
creative beauty' The Times, Historical Novel of the Month
