In 1847, Italy is on the brink of revolution. In Jonathan Keates'
highly acclaimed first novel, a young Englishman, Edward Rivers,
arrives in the small town of Villafranca and an intriguing tale of
passion, jealousy and betrayal unfolds. 'An unusual historical
novel of love and death in nineteenth century Italy ... Jonathan
Keates' analysis of conflicting passions is so graciously wrought,
and with so careful an attention to psychology, that it is hard to
believe The Strangers' Gallery is a first novel; a comparison with
Stendhal's Scarlet and Black would not go amiss.' Independent This
is a rich novel ... an extraordinary feat of imaginative
transference into another age and culture.' Financial Times 'It is
surely close to another nineteenth century novel written in the
twentieth century - Giuseppe di Lampedusa's The Leopard.' Spectator
'Italy before a revolution is described in exquisite miniature with
every detail of place and mannerism picked out and placed under
glass... perfect and faultless' Sunday Times
