Synopsis "Constantine's Chambers"

'My name, ' he says, 'is Melchizedek. I am old and young at once, standing at the end of the world and its beginning, the servant, priest and scribe of the Most High God.' He holds out the scroll. 'Write, Julie, ' he says. 'But Sir, I have no pen.' 'Write, write, write. Become what thou art.' He hands me the scroll. It's warm to my touch. 'Surely, ' I think. 'This can only mean one thing ...' Turbulent teenager, Julie Carlton, finds happiness and peace through her storyteller father's vast reservoir of Gaelic, Greek and Welsh mythology. His sudden death, however, plunges Julie into turmoil. Struggling to differentiate between the mythic and the everyday, she becomes captivated by the enigmatic Ambrosius Carlisle and joins his artistic community, Constantine's Chambers, with consequences both terrifying and transformative. John Fitzgerald's debut novel, a contemporary Grail quest set in Liverpool and Manchester, will resonate with readers of (among others) C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, Alan Garner, Rosemary Sutcliff, William Golding and Susan Cooper. It explores the trauma of bereavement, the inner drama of adolescence and the contested (and sometimes questionable) terrain where religion, mythology and politics collide. The book is a fictional meditation on the visionary impulse and the search for meaning, purpose and direction in a world which often seems to militate against such concepts.
