An extraordinary debut novel of love that survives the fires of hell and transcends the boundaries of time. The narrator of The Gargoyle is a very contemporary cynic, physically beautiful and sexually adept, who dwells in the moral vacuum that is modern life.

Á myrkum vegi um miðja nótt hrapar bifreið í gljúfur. Illa brenndur sleppur ökumaðurinn lifandi frá slysinu. Hann þolir óbærilegar kvalir og sársaukafulla meðferð á sjúkrahúsinu í þeirri einu von að verða nægilega hraustur til að fremja sjálfsmorð. Þá birtist hin leyndardómsfulla Marianne Engel myndhöggvari. Hún fullyrðir að þau séu elskendur frá fyrra lífi, í Þýskalandi á miðöldum.

Han har alvorlige forbrændinger over det meste af kroppen. Han udholder smerte, vansiring og pinefulde behandlinger, der skal fjerne hans døde og rådnende hud, kun i håbet om at blive rask nok til at gøre en ende på sit liv. Men så dukker Marianne Engel – gargoil-skulptør – op. Hun er overbevist om, at hun plejede ham, i et tidligere liv.
