Description
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THESE MILLIONS OF YEARS
Bronson Tullis is a highly successful London art dealer, specialising in the semi-clandestine world of antiquities. His life appears to be on a roll until he is led to Italy by an enigmatic Italian woman, where he is shown a black marble sculpture of Aphrodite that has been dredged up from the sea. He instantly recognises it from a recent disturbing dream. Deeply unnerved by this strange coincidence, despite his sense of misgiving, he cannot resist buying the statue.
From this point on Bronson experiences a series of totally unexpected setbacks: his ex-wife suddenly dies, leaving him an excoriating letter that punctures his view of their failed relationship; a brief visit to an isolated Greek island produces events that run counter to his sense of reality. The black statue is stopped at the border whilst being smuggled out of Italy.
With the threat of prison closing in, Bronson is plunged into a deep and terrifying breakdown, where he has to face the superficiality and egoism of his old way of life. A soul-searching trip back to the Greek island triggers his struggle to come to terms with his own dark places.

Let me start by saying that the magic of books by Bruce McAlpine is the visual storytelling. These locations, the feeling of being there, it really is an experience in history to read his books.
In Another Place was a much different experience than I had reading These Millions of Years, where I was familiar with Egyptian history I went into this one with little knowledge of the world of Italian art.
Overall this was an interesting read that kept me engaged and wondering what would happen next. With as much as I enjoyed these books I'll happily read anything Bruce McAlpine writes.
Thank you to Troubador and NetGalley for providing an advance copy of this E-Book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

He's also part of the underworld of fake antiquitie Misleads into all sorts of trouble. He realizes trap and everything. And you're trying to fall in love with this woman. But she had boundaries for For who. You find alphabetical lady who ran me. A state in Italy was really an American. And she was just owned by her family because she married. This man Named R ESP LING.. He had a crazy pass, too, because he was involved with Fascist in italy in nineteen forty. She had a lot of money but her family Said come home or else. This is interesting how they tied on this together in this book
