This beguiling novel is a provocative romantic comedy centered on a young London calligrapher named Jasper, who is an engaging, intelligent serial seducer and a breaker of hearts. But when he meets Madeleine, a captivating but enigmatic woman who is his equal in every way, he falls helplessly in love. Vulnerable for the first time, he is headed for his comeuppance at last. Jasper is transcribing the Songs and Sonnets of that other great lover, John Donne, for a rich American client. As he works on them (revealing to us the fascinating art of the calligrapher), he discovers that these wise and beautiful love poems illuminate his own experiences -- of the difference between love and lust, of the play of truth and deceit between men and women, of the cost of constancy.

As well as bringing modern London vividly to life, The Calligrapher is keenly observant of contemporary relationships and modern mores. Underlying its sparkling surface are Jasper's wry but heartfelt lamentations about the diminishment of our culture: the trivial masquerading as the consequential, the rising tide of ignorance, the triumph of the lowest common denominator. At once wickedly witty and deeply serious, sweet and cynical, romantic and reflective, this stylish, wonderfully entertaining novel is an accomplished and exciting literary debut.

I’ve tried so many and Love this one!
Color: Black, Size: Large (10"W*6.69"D*2.17"H)
When I travel my earrings and broaches and bracelets are important parts of my outfits (I like finishing “the look” with the right accessory or two. I’ve struggled to find a good, accommodating yet packable case. This has a very low profile which makes it very easy to slip in my luggage. Well made, sturdy and good zipper It holds lots of earrings and underneath will hold my broaches. Room left over in lid for bracelets and a zippered pocket for additional storage. I found exactly what I wanted and needed in this case. Highly recommend.

Just Buy it!
Color: Black, Size: Large (10"W*6.69"D*2.17"H)
I purchased one of these for my mom for Christmas and I loved the quality so much that I purchased another one for myself. I always have all these different jewelry bags when I would travel and it was annoying. But now all my jewelry is together in one place. The quality is really great! It’s durable and big enough to fit many shapes and sizes of my jewelry pieces. The best part is that the middle part can be removed if you want. It’s really cute and chic. I’m so glad I purchased this jewelry case.
