Muriel Spark
The Takeover
Jacket Notes: The grove of Nemi is a mystic place. Diana the lunar huntress stalked its oaken woods in Roman times and now Maggie Radcliffe holds sway, a millionaire goddess of beauty and wealth.
But the sacrifice is turned the other way in the awry world of the 1970s. The goddess must propitiate her supplicants and pray for peace.
