Temples of Delight is a heart-warming tale of friendship, family and growing-up, the first in a historical series from bestselling author Barbara Trapido.
Jem is a joyful mystery to Alice. She is something to give thanks for. And when she disappears from Alice's life, as suddenly as she entered it, a whirl of glamour, subversion and literary references, Alice is left bereft.
But then she meets Giovanni, presumptuous and hectoring, passionate and beautiful, who leads her back to her childhood friend and the mystery and chaos still surrounding her. Alice finds herself being seduced all over again ...
'A work written with authority and ease ... Temples of Delight celebrates imagination in fiction and in life.'
New York Times Book Review
'Barbara Trapido applies her sharp sense of social nuances and her dry wit to advance the proposition that love conquers all. [With] a light, sure touch ... she manages to make the improbable surprisingly possible.'
The Wall Street Journal
