With lean, clean, clear, and well-lit prose, Barry Unsworth delivers a flawless and restrained masterwork in a sober but subtly ironic tone. From the opening passages until the end, I was enveloped in the naturalness and ease in which this historical novel unfolded. On the precipice of World War I, a convergence of civilizations and a clash of egos surround an archaeological dig at Tell Erdek in Mesopotamia (Iraq). British archaeologist John Somerville seeks fame and something deeper as the head of the dig site of what he hopes to be an ancient Assyrian palace. For three years, he has come up almost empty-handed, and pressures surmount as a German railway threatens to cross into the path of the tell and sabotage the venerable past and his uncertain future. His wife is distant and newly energized by Alex Elliot, an American geologist posing as an archaeologist. Eliott is working in cunning collaboration and competition for different countries and interests bent on excavating oil rather than artifacts. Jehar, an Arab hired by Sommerville to assist him with various duties, has his own agenda to secure enough money to marry the beautiful woman of his dreams. Various other characters enrich the story with their guile and their quest to control not just the oil fields of Mesopotamia, but the hidden and unbidden tangibles and intangibles that haunt them. The plot quickens and thrills without ever becoming heavy-handed or sententious. This cautionary tale of the past ultimately reveals a chilling tableau of the present. If you seek superior and sublime literature, you will savor this book.
