<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Blind Assassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent thirties between a wealthy young woman and a man on the run. During their secret meetings in rented rooms, the lovers concoct a pulp fantasy set on Planet Zycron. As the invented story twists through love and sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real one; while events in both move closer to war and catastrophe. By turns lyrical, outrageous, formidable, compelling and funny, this is a novel filled with deep humour and dark drama.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The book is still in print and widely available. Several copies are available in Haringey libraries and Hornsey library has an audio version. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-indent: -72pt; font-size: 10pt;">As usual, all welcome. Looking forward to it. </span></p>
