   "Hieros gamos" is greek meaning marriage.  I read the book long ago
so my memory is hazy too.  I was holding back a few of my "clues" to
see if anyone else had interpreted them differently.  I seem to remember
a parrot in one part of the story saying "Time is the prime subjective"
or something to that effect.  I believe Sam was a 11-15 when he first
saw An.  An was around that age when she became his wife.  This is one
book that remains a mystery to me.  The reviews for it were good but
they all side stepped the issue of explaining the book.
