"The hay smelt of how the sky loved the earth."
Lilac and Flag is a love story - it is a tale of a deadly love. And it is a bleak urban mystery.
This novel, crowning the brilliant Into Their Labours trilogy, is an authentic dusky jewel.
"There is a moment early in the morning before much blood has been spilt, before the pitilessness of the strong has reached its apogee, when the night players are at last asleep and free of their sadness, there is a moment when the new day seems almost innocent."
It is a story of those who had abandoned peasant labour and fled country looking for an easy and illusory happiness of cities. And the tale is taking place in some archetypal megalopolis named Troy - a sort of modern sinful Babel.
"From the beginning, men compared women with flowers, and women, enjoying it, encouraged them. They fastened blossoms in their hair, they wore perfumes, they twined leaves, and they displayed themselves."
We can't choose our true love, our true love chooses us…
"Maybe you dream of money. But you never dream of paying! Nobody in the world dreams of paying. This is what makes waking up so terrible. This is what makes waking up worse than hunger."
In reality we must pay for our happiness dearly… And we must pay for our unhappiness too.
