A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Muriel Spark was born in Edinburgh in 1918. A poet, essayist, biographer and novelist, she won much international praise, including being twice shortlisted for the Booker Prize. The Times placed her eighth in its list of the Fifty Greatest British Writers Since 1945. She died in Tuscany in 2006.

Candia McWilliam was born in Edinburgh in 1955 and educated at Girton College, Cambridge. Her first novel, A Case of Knives, was joint winner of the Betty Trask Prize in 1988 and her latest book, What to Look for in Winter, movingly detailed her struggle with blindness.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bound for the Azores, a plane crashes onto an isolated island somewhere in the North Atlantic. January Marlow is one of the three survivors - and the only woman. She wakes to find herself being cared for by Miles Mary Robinson, the island's reclusive owner and bibliophile. Muriel Spark's second novel is a vivid tale of manipulation, sexual tension and - possibly - murder.

This is one of the 22 novels written by Muriel Spark in her lifetime. All are being published by Polygon in hardback Centenary Editions between November 2017 and September 2018.
