The Grave and the Figure Eight: A Myth Reborn - Softcover
After World War I, young Terence Garth—wounded both in body and in soul—returns from France to the Western Kentucky farm of his wealthy uncle and benefactor. He learns that his uncle has recently married Isabel, a beautiful but disturbed woman, who is near to Terence’s own age. Despite their wishes to the contrary, the two young persons discover their mutual attraction intensifying, until they become involved in a headlong course leading to adultery, betrayal, deception, depression, alcoholism, and murder, as they find themselves reenacting a classic myth of condemned love and internal destruction. “And in hell, my Master named and showed me...Tristan and Isolde and a thousand others whom love had driven to their ruin!” Dante, Inferno, Canto V.
