The Alteration.

Viking Press, New York, 1977, first U.S. edition.. 210 pp, 8vo (8 9/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0670115223 "The year is 1976, and Stephen III, King of England, has lately died. Mozart's Second Requiem (K.878) is being sung at the Cathedral Basilica of St. George at Coverley (pronounce d Cowley) for the laying-to-rest of the monarch. Above choir and orchestra soars the faultless boy soprano voice of Hubert Anvil. It is a once-in-a-century talent. Although he cannot yet know it, today's performance before a brilliant inter n a t i o n al congregation - including two emissaries of the Holy Office - will alter his destiny but save his voice if certain of his elders have their way. In the world-as-we-know-it the last such castrato died in 1922, but this is another world a lt og et he r, spared the Reformation back in the sixteenth century when Martin Luther became Pope. As Hubert is made aware of what may be in store for him, some unsuspected allies, including his father's not-so-celibate chaplain and the New En gla nde r a mba ssa dor spring up. Around him swirls a whirlpool of piety, menace, terror, and passion - a vortex from which no reader can or will escape until the final resolution.." Very faint discoloration to edges of textblock, light rubbin g on boa rds, lig ht w rink ling at bottom of spine, three tiny corner dints, tiny dint on top edge of rear board. Dust jacket has very light edge wear/wrinkling, very light rubbing, small light water mark at top inside edge. Very Good/Very Good.
