Once Allan Whigham Price had discovered the twin "Giblew" sisters, he entered into an obsessive love affair with the remarkable Victorian blue-stockings.
Eccentric even by the standards of their day, the formidable duo were inseparable - even on honeymoon - and undertook awesome journeys to extend their Semitic scholarship. Travelling by camel across the Sinai desert to the remote monastery of St Catherine, they discovered a very early Syriac version of the gospels, and it was this that led to their being uniquely honoured - their portraits hanging in the Hall of what was for many years an all-male Cambridge theological College.
Fascinating detective story, intricate jigsaw puzzle, loving tribute, The Ladies of Castlebrae is a remarkable account of 19th century travel and of two extraordinary women who blazed a masterful intellectual trail.
"Engrossing story - reads like a work of fiction"
