First Edition, First Printing

The Towers of Trebizond is a richly layered novel that blends travelogue, satire, and spiritual introspection. Narrated by Laurie, a witty and introspective woman, the story follows her journey from Istanbul to the ancient city of Trebizond alongside her eccentric Aunt Dot and the devout Anglican priest Father Hugh Chantry-Pigg. Their expedition, undertaken on camelback, is ostensibly aimed at converting Turkish women to Christianity and promoting Western customs, such as the adoption of bathing hats. However, beneath the surface of this humorous and often absurd adventure lies a profound exploration of faith, cultural imperialism, and personal conflict. Laurie grapples with her own spiritual beliefs and a clandestine affair with a married man, reflecting Macaulay's own experiences and inner turmoil.
