The Lacuna Cabal Montreal Young Woman's Book Club loves to bring to life tableaux from the books they read, but when they begin to enact the ancient Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh, in the early days of the Iraq War, the book begins to enact them. The Cabal starts to splinter: cross-dressing Aline becomes obsessed with the Baghdad Blogger, Anna with dabbling in prostitution, and Emily with the maker of the Fitzbot, an artificial-intelligence experiment. In the centre of it all is Runner Coghill, who is still mourning her twin sister and who brought to the group the ten priceless cuneiform Gilgamesh stones. Descriptions of sex, some descriptions of violence, and strong language.
