The Towers of Trebizond

The Towers of Trebizond follows the protagonist, Laurie Panton, and her eccentric Aunt Dot as they embark on a journey to Turkey. Throughout their travels, they undergo various adventures and mishaps while exploring the rich cultural heritage and religious tensions of Turkey.

A central theme of the novel is the clash between Western and Eastern cultures. As Laurie explores Turkey, she becomes enamored with the country’s traditions, customs, and history, leading her to question her own beliefs and values.

This gleefully absurd story, part travelogue, part comedy, is also a meditation on love, faith, doubt, and the difficulties, moral and intellectual, of being a Christian in the modern world.
