Gloomily atmospheric
- Book: Prague Nights
- Location: Prague
- Author: Benjamin Black
Excellent fictional account of the Court of Emperor Rudolph. It took me a while to get into the book with its many characters and subplots; however it was worth persevering even though most of the characters were quite unpleasant and unlikeable. The evocation of Prague at the time is wonderful; you can almost smell the woodsmoke and the cold of a Prague winter chills the bones.
