What is The Skull and the Nightingale: A Novel about?
A man eager to make his fortune . . . A godfather who initiates a dangerous psychological game . . . An extraordinary proposition, one of discovery, pleasure--and pain. When Richard Fenwick, a young man without family or means, returns to London from a Grand Tour of Europe in 1761, his godfather, James Gilbert, has an unexpected proposition. Gilbert has led a sedate life in the country, but now, in his advancing years, he feels the urge to experience, if vicariously, the extremes of human feeling--love and passion, in particular--along with something much more sinister. He asks Richard to serve as his proxy and to write to him of his city adventures, and his ward believes he has no option but to accept. It quickly becomes clear that Gilbert desires correspondence of a titillating nature--tales of carousal, seduction, and excess--and so Richard begins to write of London's more salacious side. <div class="bookitem
