The Towers of Trebizond has been in my library for years, but I only recently got round to reading it. Pages of enchantment, expressing such humanity and understanding- The tragic death of her lover at the end is heart-rending, and I would find it hard to believe that she had not suffered in the same way. But I know little about her personal life, and would like to know whether she did have a passionate relationship like the one she describes.
