“Book Descriptions: This edition limited to 124 numbered copies. "Enclosed by thickly wooded headlands and wreathed in a silence broken only by the gulls, Polwheveral Creek was the sanctuary for which Jacob had long yearned. Beset by attacks of temporary blindness, he rents a dilapidated bungalow there on the river's edge, craving a summer of monastic solitude. But he is not quite alone on the peninsula. From his landlord, Jacob learns that he has a neighbour, Julius De Monte, last surviving member of a recusant Catholic family, and custodian of a relic to which miraculous powers were once attributed.
