The Towers of Trebizond by Rose Macaulay 1992

Rose Macaulay tells the delightfully entertaining story of three English eccentrics, Aunt Dot, her niece Laurie, and Father Chantry-Pigg all bound for Turkey-supposedly to set up a religious mission there. But on arrival, Chantry-Pigg becomes fascinated with the challenge of climbing Mount Ararat while Aunt Dot endeavors to emancipate Turkish women into accepting strange Anglo-Saxon customs. Meanwhile Laurie, lovesick, daydreams of home and her handsome married cousin.

The Towers of Trebizond has poetic vision, exquisitely wrought prose, and an entertaining procession of extraordinary incidents. Beneath the satire, this is also the story of the conflict of love and conscience and the tension of guilt that arises from it.
