Description

unpaginated “Sabine’s Notebook’ ended with a disturbing disclosure – Griffin and Sabine had somehow eluded each other once again. ‘The Golden Mean’ begins with an even more disturbing development. It seems that each cannot exist in the presence of the other. Yet neither can continue without the presence of the other. And so, in this final volume of the Griffin and Sabine trilogy, they struggle against the mysterious forces that keep them apart. Time is running out: Sabine’s crystalline visions of Griffin’s artwork grow cloudy and dim, and a threatening stranger begins to appear everywhere she goes. ‘The Golden Mean’ is the tale of Griffin and Sabine’s jounrey towards one another, sometimes dreamy, sometimes desperate, sometimes nightmarish. The golden mean – the harmony of perfect balance – is what they seek in the haunting conclusion of this extraordinary correspondence. Told in the compelling style of the first two best-selling volumes of the trilogy, ‘The Golden Mean’ allows readers to open richly decorated envelopes and draw forth intricately illustrated letters, to decipher the quirky handwritten postcards with their macabre and magical artwork, to indulge in other words, in the wonderfully illicit activiy of reading someone else’s mail.”
