Description

<p>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>

This is an amazing book, and I would highly recomend it to any one interested in the history freemasonry and secret societies. It also covers the social history of the 18th century in England, and looks into the influences of freemasonry; magic, alchemy, necromancy, and looks at historical freemasons such as Christopher Wren, Elias Ashmole and Jean Desaguliers. It easy and enjoyable to read, and unlike some books on the history of freemasonry, it uses proper documents and source material and is all fully referenced. Its got some nice pictures in it as well!
