Discover the enthralling Richard & Judy Book Club pick from
international bestseller Joseph O'Connor. 'The best novel that I've
read in the last twenty years... It's fantastic' RICHARD MADELEY
'Breathtaking... A hugely entertaining book about the grand scope
of friendship and love' Sadie Jones, Guardian __________ London,
1878. Three extraordinary people begin their life together - and
the idea for Dracula is born. Fresh from life in Dublin, Bram
Stoker - now manager of the Lyceum Theatre - is wrestling with dark
demons in a new city, in a new marriage, and with his own literary
aspirations. As he walks the streets at night, streets haunted by
the Ripper and the gossip which swirls around his friend Oscar
Wilde, he finds new inspiration. Soon, the eerie tale of Dracula
begins to emerge. But Henry Irving, volcanic leading man and
impresario, is determined that nothing will get in the way of
Bram's dedication to the Lyceum. And both men are growing ever more
enchanted by the beauty and boldness of Ellen Terry, the most
celebrated actress of her generation. __________ Shortlisted for
the Costa Novel Award 2019 Winner of the Irish Book Awards Novel of
the Year 'A colourful tale of secret love and public
performance...in a romantic, lost London' The Times 'Hugely
entertaining and atmospheric' DEBORAH MOGGACH 'Extraordinary'
SEBASTIAN BARRY 'A novel I'd recommend to anyone: a rollicking and
moving story' James Naughtie, Radio Times 'Fabulous... A truly
great book you simply cannot put down' JUDY FINNIGAN 'Rich, sad,
funny, and a beautiful read. You'll LOVE it' RICHARD MADELEY
'Ingenious...hugely impressive and utterly haunting' Sunday Mirror
