THE GLAMOUR
by Christopher Priest


Flyleaf:

You are about to enter a bizarre and unfamiliar world -- the underworld
of "the glamour." It's a place both seductive and sinister, where men and
women possess enviable powers. A world of alternating states, a world that
exists on the edge of reality, behind a viel of invisibility.
In the world they call the glamour, Richard and Susan meet and fall very
much in love. For Richard, the victim of a terrorist bombing, fighting to
piece together his shattered memory, it is a love both strange and new. But
for Susan, a woman fighting for their future, it is a love that began long ago
in Richard's forgotten past. Now she must help him to remember the past they
share -- and the power they possess. It is a power that allows them to cloak
themselves in a mysterious aura or glamour. Poeopel who possess it can fade in
and out of sight. The glamour is a power they can use for good or for evil.
Yet for Richard and Susan, it is becoming a power they must escape, or be
haunted by forever.
As sophisticated as it is provocative, _The Glamour_ is a mesmerizing
novel of psychological suspense that dares to probe the powers of the mind,
ESP, and the ways in which people see -- or fail to see -- each other. Both a
captivating love story and a haunting metaphor of modern life, it is a
unforgettable reading experience.


Christoper Priest's previous books include _The Perfect Lover_ and _An
Infinite Summer_. He has been praised by John Fowles as "one of our most
gifted," and by Ursula Le Guin as "a versitile, autonomous writer from whom we
can expect nothing expectable." An internationally known novelist, Priest was
recently named one of England's best young writers. He lives in London with
his wife, novelist Lisa Tuttle.
