From a Victorian Ireland of magic, poetry and rebellion,
Ida Jameson, an amateur occultist, reaches out for
power, but captures Laura Armstrong, a modern-day
graphic artist instead. Now, for the man or demon she
loves, each woman must span a bridge through Hell and
across history . . . or destroy it. “Every passionate man is linked with another age,
historical or imaginary, where alone he finds images
that rouse his energy.” W. B. Yeats Anchored in fact on both sides of history, Laura and Ida,
modern rationalist and fin de siècle occultist, are linked
from the moment Ida channels Laura into the body of
celebrated beauty and Irish freedom-fighter Maud
Gonne. When Laura falls—from an ocean and a hundred
years away—passionately, Victorianly in love with the
young poet W. B. Yeats, their love affair entwines with
Irish history and weaves through Yeats’s poetry until Ida
discovers something she wants more than magic in the
subterranean spaces in between. With her Irish past threatening her orderly present and
the man she loves in it, Laura and Yeats—the practical
materialist and the poet magus—must find a way to
make love last over time, in changing bodies, through
modern damnation, and into the mythic past to link
their pilgrim souls . . . or lose them forever.
