About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Random House, Inc., 2000. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Perched above the Indian Ocean and surrounded by lush foliage that blocks out everything but the sea--sweet frangipani, jasmine, and wild orchid--the hotel Salama is an unlikely place to conduct research. Proud, sharp-tongued, and solitary by disposition, Ingrid Holtz arrives at the hotel in search of her professor, Nick Templeton, to whom she is drawn by interests of a more than academic nature. Templeton is a maverick, as much reviled for his unconventional methods as he is envied for his results. His latest theory has driven him to the island of Pelat, to unravel a legend about an ancient African king said to have brought Islam to the Swahili coast. Templeton's research has taken him to the hot core of the island's darkest confrontation. No one has heard from him in months. How far will he go in his passion for the truth? Ingrid embarks on a quest that opens her heart--and threatens to unravel her mind. An epic tale of love and faith, AN OBVIOUS ENCHANTMENT is a story about desire--for love, for knowledge, and for God--and about our capacity to ensnare ourselves in the deceptive architecture of our own dreams. From the first page it plunges you into a sensuous world of seductive characters and duplicitous charm, a world alive with color and atmosphere from which it is hard to emerge without wanting to return. As new, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. L28
