    A ghost in the machine searching for his mystical wife
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2010*

Sara, an art restorationist in San Francisco, has an oddly moving and sensual experience when viewing a drawing of Shiva at the museum. She receives an email message offering her a position based on her passion for the art. As she is bored and lonely, she takes a chance and begins work for her mysterious employer who wants her to help in recollect the art collection of  a 15th century explorer, Conti, presumbably his ancestor. Sara pursues both the art and the history of the explorer as she travels around the world, and becomes more open and engaged. She begins a relationship with a former co-worker and the mysterious Conti acts as a friend/guide/father figure. As with all Bantock books, it is beautifully illustrated and the mystery is intriguing. In fact, I wanted to know more and in some ways, I wish it had been developed into a regular novel, but it is very enjoyable in its current form, even though it leaves you wanting more.

    A truly unique book
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2011*

I accidentally read about this book in a magazine and was intrigued, so I hopped over to my library and checked it out. It was a fabulous combination of art, history, mystery and romance. The style of writing - done in email and journal format and the unique illustrations done by the author made this book one of a kind. Reminded me of another one of my favorites - The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I knew that I would want to read it again, so I ordered it. Not available in any bookstores in my area.

This book is beautifully written; mysterious and engaging.  The illustrations are lovely and complex, best appreciated  using a magnifying glass.
