The Gargoyle. One of the Best Books I Read in 2009.

I read some astounding books in 2009.  Over the next few weeks I think I'll review a few for you. Sharing time!   First up:
The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson
Start with a gorgeous but morally bankrupt man who gets roasted in a car accident.  Follow with a graphic account of the  horrific burn treatment he has to undergo in order to heal.  And of course after all this he ain't pretty. Or happy. Now you get a crazy but-of-course gorgeous sculptress who makes weird art in a very weird way.  Then what's all this about a medieval nun and love gone wrong? Not to mention the Viking and, well, the other Viking. They're victims of cruel cruel love. It all hangs together beautifully and the historical bits are juicy in their detail. Lousy cover, but we mustn't judge, must we?
