Summary

Set in Transjordan just before the 1967 war with Israel, Staircase of a Thousand Stepsis a "remarkably well-written...thoroughly absorbing novel" (Arizona Daily Sun) that takes us to a place where memory whispers like fear, where visions of a long-ago forbidden love affair haunt a precocious young girl -- and where the flare of old rivalries can be as sudden as searing as the desert wind. "The prose is simple but elegant, and subtle interweaving of the mystical and the mundane makes the novel delightfully compelling" (Library Journal) "Engaging...Hamilton is a natural storyteller." (Publishers Weekly)
