Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Arachne
Deep silence brooded over the water and the green islands which rose like oases from its glit tering surface. The palms, silver poplars, and sycamores on the largest one were already cast ing longer shadows as the slanting rays of the sun touched their dark crowns, while its glow ing ball still poured a ?ood of golden radiance upon the bushes along the shore, and the light, feathery tufts at the tops of the papyrus reeds in the brackish water.
