The eagerly awaited third novel from the writer recently judged the best New Zealand novelist under 40 in the Listener critics' poll. Tampa Bay, Florda, 1898: a frontier place where the old world meets the new and where miracles of transformation are possible. Dominating the city is the brand new Tampa Bay Hotel, with its tangle of Moorish minarets, cupolas and arches, its Byzantine domes and thirteen crescent moons, and its electric lighting designed by Edison himself. The Hotel has one permanent year-round resident, a most exotic creatre by the name of Monasieur Lucien Goulet III, wigmaker to the rich and glamorous, indeed to any denizen of Tampa Bay whos desire for the transformations he accords is strong enough to meet his price. As the winter of 1898 near its end, goulet's life becomes entwinded with a young widow, Marion Unger, and a teenage cigar rollar and refugee from the war in Cuba named Rafael.
