Ivan Obolensky's writing is deeply rooted in the tales of his ancestors and the world of high society he experienced growing up. This rich tapestry of intrigue and adventure nurtured his profound love for storytelling, which now infuses both his fiction and nonfiction. His novel, "Eye of the Moon," set within a family estate, is a sophisticated blend of mystery, Egyptian occultism, and sumptuous intrigue. The work compellingly explores themes of debt and repayment for squandered gifts in life.
"Eye of the Moon" is set in the 1970s aristocratic New York. When Johnny's Aunt Alice died mysteriously, he and Percy were kept in the dark. Twenty years later, the two investigate what really happened, becoming ensnared in a web of mystery, Egyptian occultism, sumptuous elegance, and intrigue, where nothing and no one is what they seem.
