Quatrième de couverture

COVER DESIGN BY SUE TIMNEY

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MONICA ALI

'In a class by himself...the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness and anxiety' William Golding

The love affair between Maurice Bendix and Sarah, flourishing in the turbulent times of the London Blitz, ends when she suddenly and without explanation breaks it off. After a chance meeting rekindles his love and jealousy two years later, Bendix hires a private detective to follow Sarah, and slowly his love for her turns into an obsession.
