Synopsis

Ship's officer Charles Wilson arrives in Malta in the early 1920s, leaving his wife and children behind in London. He befriends a Russian 'migr' family and falls for their governess, the beautiful Maria Ivanovna. The passionate intensity of his feelings propels him into a course of action that promises to end in disaster. First published in 1928, the themes of exile, love and betrayal are just as relevant today. Exploring the meaning of the world and settling down, Another Country is profound reading.
