An elegant, gothic tale set in a mansion house in Berkshire in 1949, in which Sir Hugo Coal believes Fledge the butler is about to oust him from his marital bed and usurp his position. The author also wrote "Blood and Water".
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Patrick McGrath is the author of several modern gothic novels, including Asylum and Spider, and two collections of stories. He lives in New York, where he is on the writing faculties of the New School and Princeton University.
This exuberantly spooky novel, in which horror, repressed eroticism, and sulfurous social comedy intertwine like the vines in an overgrown English garden, is now a major motion picture, starring Alan Bates, Sting, and Theresa Russell.
