The Marriage of Souls -- Warwick Collins

Condition : Good.

      First Edition, Weidenfeld, 1999,Large-format Paperback - Historical Fiction - 482 pp.

       The Marriage of Souls picks up the story of the two doctors, Grange and Hargood, initially encountered in The Rationalist which was published to critical acclaim in the UK and US in 1993.

       Full of imagery and insight, both into the minds of the characters and into the England of the 1790s, this is a deeply intelligent and intriguing novel, both sophisticated and sensual.

       As John Fowles did with Lyme Regis in The French Lieutenant's Woman, Warwick Collins makes the coastal town of Lymington more than just the backdrop to this unusual love story. Lymington is a salty presence throughout. It gives the story a unique sense of atmosphere and place. Ships are glanced out on the waves, furnaces burn on the shore providing the town with its major source of income - salt. The town, the sea and the countryside around are lovingly and skilfully evoked.
