Twilight in Babylon - first US edition

by Suzanne Frank

Fourth and final installment in the time-slip quartet of novels, this one picks up where Sunrise on the Mediterranean left off. Warning. If you haven't read the first three, you'll be lost. When Chloe is mortally injured in a fire, Cheftu rushes her to the Ark of the Covenant, where she is once again swept up in time, landing in the body of a marsh girl caught in an ancient Sumerian flood. As she gradually figures out who she is, she seeks out Cheftu, her nineteenth-century time-traveling French physician husband, and discovers analogies between the commerce and politics of Ur and that of her twentieth-century Texas home.

New mass-market paperback, never available in hardbound.
