Follow this link for PWYC About the book: At Dawn, Two Nightingales is rumoured to be the most dangerous poem in the world, its haunted verses said to be invested with mysterious, supernatural powers. The impoverished Count Mitrovsky believes that within the enchanted stanzas lies the key to his beautiful neighbour Mařenka’s heart, but other parties are searching for the poem too – sinister censors, dangerous criminals, bandits and brigands of all stripes. A comic opera in novel form – part quest, part pantomime, part unexpected ghost story – At Dawn Two Nightingales is both playful and heartbreaking, an uproarious adventure that upends the conventions of the historical novel at every turn. A richly comic and darkly disturbing story of unrequited love, fantastical adventure and the quest for a mysterious poem, masterfully delivered in gloriously luscious prose – Carole Hailey Bilton’s work is a Bohemian romp, an amuse-bouche which keeps on giving – Julian Stannard About the author: Alan Bilton is the author of four novels - The Sleepwalkers' Ball, The Known and Unknown Sea, The End of The Yellow House and At Dawn, Two Nightingales - as well as a collection of surreal short stories, Anywhere Out of the World and non-fiction books on silent film comedy, America in the 1920s, and Contemporary Fiction.
