On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men, who have met in secret to discuss a series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Luminaries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an extraordinary piece of fiction. It is full of narrative, linguistic and psychological pleasures, and has a fiendishly clever and original structuring device. Written in pitch-perfect historical register, richly evoking a mid-19th century world of shipping and banking and goldrush boom and bust, it is also a ghost story, and a gripping mystery. It is a thrilling achievement and will confirm for critics and readers that Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international writing firmament.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Granta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41990090063907,"sku":null,"price":899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/71WF9metSQL._SL1500_042b56e2-b1af-4655-a560-cfabbccb1271.jpg?v=1787991357","url":"https:\/\/champaca.in\/products\/the-luminaries","provider":"Champaca Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
