I will make an entire nation your enemy”. “When I’ve done my work, every Englishman will know about Delilah Dirk. Early on Delilah and Selim make an influential enemy. Cliff’s plot isn’t as deliberately episodic as the introductory book, with a connecting thread almost all the way through. Selim acts as the voice of reason, attempting to temper her more dangerous inclinations.īritish forces are also present in Spain in considerable quantity, as they’re at war with the French, but Delilah would prefer to avoid any soldiers. She’s brave to point of being reckless, but capable, able to adapt to changing circumstance, and possessed of a restlessly adventurous nature. This being 1807, there are concerns about Napoleon and his French forces, who’ve invaded the entire Iberian peninsula, and Tony Cliff’s opening pages supply everything that’s required to know Delilah. It’s been roughly a year since the end of Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant, and Delilah and Erdemoglu Selim are now in Portugal.
