A Melancholy Event by Dan Glaister

When Stephanie finds a hand-written story in a box of old papers, the path her life is to take becomes clear. Haunted by the true tale of a duel that took place 200 years ago, a ritual as tragic in its inevitability as it is in its futility, she is determined to harness its ghoulish beauty for her own ends. A Melancholy Event is a tale of obsession, of a story that inhabits and infects the landscape, drawing the characters in this novel into its own world.

Dan Glaister was born and grew up in the south of England, going on to work at the Guardian as a writer, editor and foreign correspondent. He is captivated by the stories embedded in the landscape, by the traces they leave and how they seep into our present. He lives in Gloucestershire, near the setting of this, his first novel.
