The Signature of Venus upon the World

For the first time this trilogy brings together Tom Quinn's trio of tragic love tales, "The Islandman", "The Lamp for Lovers", and "The Love Song of the Dying Sperm Whale". Read together the thematic unity of the novels is immediately very evident, revealing an ongoing lyrical and moving quest through shifting landscapes of desire and loss under the distant shining light of fervent and unattainable love.
