Drinking Midnight Wine
Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon R. Green is a Book Club Edition published by ROC in 2001, featuring 290 pages in English. This narrative follows Toby Dexter, a 33-year-old clerk at Gandalf’s bookshop in Bradford-on-Avon, who unexpectedly becomes an unlikely hero. When he pursues the enigmatic Gayle into a doorway she creates, Toby is thrust into Mysterie, a fantastical realm filled with gods and devils that exists alongside our mundane world.
In this adventure, Toby learns that Gayle is embroiled in a power struggle between Good and Evil, with the Serpent in the Sun representing the latter. As he navigates this new reality, Toby discovers that he is a “focal point” in this conflict, tasked with determining the fates of both people and the world. Readers will encounter elements of science fiction and fantasy, as well as themes of the paranormal and urban life, as Toby grapples with his newfound responsibilities in a world that challenges his previous notions of reality.
Official synopsis Publisher
Toby Dexter, a bored 33-year-old clerk at Gandalf’s bookshop in Bradford-on-Avon, becomes an unlikely hero when he follows a woman (the mysterious Gayle, at whom Toby has often gaped during his daily commute) into a doorway she creates by pointing at a wall. Suddenly, Toby finds himself in Mysterie, a fantasy world chock-full of gods and devils and coexistent with Veritie, our mundane world. Gayle warns him that she is beyond mortal love, and is instead preoccupied by a power struggle between Good and Evil with the latter being represented by the Serpent in the Sun, who seeks dominion over everything. Even worse, Gayle says, is that Toby is a “focal point” who will ultimately decide “the fates of people and the world.” It’s a tall order for a little guy, but Toby’s up to it
