| Synopsis: |
A beautifully written and evocative European romance Duke of Egypt is the moving account of the love between a gypsy, Joseph Plato, and a farmer, Lucie. She is tied to the home and land where she rears horses. For Joseph, the whole of Europe is his home. Joseph's family are constantly on the move and each spring he takes off in his car in the hope of catching up with these scattered relations. Each autumn he returns to tell Lucie of his travels. The world Joseph describes is a strange one, and, as he recounts the summers to Lucie, the story of his ancestors - the displaced and marginalized people of Europe - is slowly unravelled. Margriet de Moor's new novel is a narrative tour de force about the emotional bonds which tie us all. It confirms her position as one of Europe's finest writers. |
