The ancient tower of the Church of Our Lady Mary is the focal point of the novel, for it is from this tower that the trumpeters play their hymn to the Virgin Mary at the stroke of each hour. Protagonists Joseph and Pan Andrew spend many nights in this tower as they together perform the duties of the night trumpeter.
