Drew Banks: Ere I Saw Elba September 8, 2009

From the author of 'Able Was I' comes a new novel about exile, forgiveness and acceptance. In reality Napoleon never said, "Able was I ere I saw Elba," but the famous palindrome persists and indeed, evokes myriad imaginings of his exile to the tiny island. Grey Tigrett discovers Elba under different circumstances and in another century.
