The Towers of Trebizond by Rose Macaulay

The Towers of Trebizond by Rose Macaulay

"'Take my camel, dear," said my Aunt Dot, as she climbed down from this animal on her return to High Mass.' Thus starts, with one of the most famous opening lines in modern English literature, Rose Macaulay's classic novel, The Towers of Trebizond.

'Rose Macaulay is so artful, so witty, so responsiveThe Towers of Trebizond is a book which will irradiate not only the wet afternoons of a summer holiday, but memory as well.'
The Times

'Rose Macaulay's The Towers of Trebizond is
an utter delight, the most brilliantly witty and captivatingly charming book I have read. Fantasy, farce, high comedy, delicious japes at many aspects of the frenzied modern world and a succession of illuminating thoughts about love, sex, life, churches and religion are all tossed together with enchanting results. Humane and shrewd, Rose Macaulay's is an engaging and idiosyncratic talent.'
New York Times
