Peter Ackroyd in top form. Taking as his starting point what is known of the career of Schliemann, the controversial excavator of "Troy," the novelist explores a character of who could live only in a certain time and place, the turn of the last century, seen through the eyes of his remarkable Greek wife. Not an intellectual exercise, but instead a headlong novel that surprises and satisfies from beginning to end.
