Hardcover. Woodstock NY, The Overlook Press, 1st thus, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 484 pages. The first unabridged, authorized edition. At the center of the novel is the aptly named Dud No-man, a historical novelist widowed after a yearlong unconsummated marriage to a woman who continues to haunt him. Inspired by pity and his own deep loneliness, Dud takes Wizzie Ravelston, an itinerant circus performer, into his home and heart. Their awkward yet endearing efforts to create a life together unfold in counterpoint to the romantic and familial relationships that sizzle and simmer in the village of Dorchester. Yet even as the characters in Maiden Castle struggle with the perplexities of love, desire and faith-readjusting their sights and affections-it is the looming fortress of Maiden Castle that exerts the otherworldly force that irrevocably determines the course of their lives.
