Book description
Iain Banks, author of such dazzling genre-busting novels as The Wasp Factory and The Bridge, has written perhaps his best novel yet with A Song of Stone, already a blockbuster in England. Set in an unnamed country in Europe (but it sure sounds like Bosnia) amidst an unidentified war, a lord and his lady find themselves held hostage in their own castle by a team of sadistic, bloodthirsty guerrillas. Gothic horror, thriller, and morality tale rolled into one, the controversial A Song of Stone is unforgettable.
