Summary:
"This is the story of Jasper Jackson, a twenty-nine year old Londoner with an unusual occupation. Engaging and intelligent, if a little self-deluded, Jasper has few troubles in life… Until he meets Madeleine, a captivating but enigmatic woman who is his equal in every way. Madly vulnerable for the first time, he is bound for his comeuppance. Jasper is one of the few calligraphers left in the world who make a living. His current employment is to transcribe the Songs and Sonnets of John Donne for a rich American client. As he completes this commission he finds that these clever and beautiful love poems begin to illuminate his own experiences—dealing as they do with the difference between men and women, between love and lust, and between truth and falsity."--
