Beginning with the nightmare visions of a young woman named Jane Seymour, Century sweeps the reader across a vast dramatic canvas and into the heart of the Seymour family – a stirring saga that moves from Austria, America and Africa to Edinburgh and Venice, from the Paris of the Belle Epoque to the Germany of 1923. This collection is a vivid and evocative portrait of our century and of a writer who grapples for understanding and vividly transforms that quest into art.
