'Simeon was having a conversation in front of the feather. Well, conversation might be putting it too strongly. It was more a monologue. God was not answering back. There was nothing unusual in that.'
Sunday Times bestselling author, Quentin Letts, pens a modern twist on one of the greatest (yet under-looked) narratives in Christianity.
Jerusalem is ruled by rosemary-scented King Herod. By the bougainvillea in Deuteronomy Square, Reuben's tea stall keeps customers sweet with lemon koloochehs. Onesimus the green-grocer piles his polished pears and pineapples in ziggurats, blind harpist Tabitha captivates bachelor Pharisees, Roman sentries doze; and the widower Simeon, beset by gout and befriended by a dog called Shlomo, watches the passing promenade. By day he dodges bossy superintendent Kedar. By starlit night he contemplates lost loves and the visits of a bad-tempered angel.
Quentin Letts's delightful tales bring first-century Jerusalem to quirky life and show how the prophet Simeon, whose Nunc Dimittis became one of the great canticles of Christendom, can help an ailing twenty-first-century Englishman come to terms with his fate.
Nunc! is a gracious yet beautifully navigated meditation on life, love and death.
