The Emperor Waltz
by Philip Hensher - £8.99 HarperCollins Publishers (2015)
paperback
ISBN 13: 9780007459599 | ISBN 10: 0007459599
The Emperor Waltz is a single novel with three narrative strands: fourth-century Rome, 1920s Germany, and 1980s London. In each place, a small coterie is closely connected and separated from the larger world. In each story, the larger world regards the small coterie and its passionately-held beliefs and secrets with suspicion and hostility.
It is the story of eccentricity, its struggle, its triumph, its influence – but also its defeat.
