Bookseller Notes

Inscribed by the author on the title-page: 'Gerald, on our first meeting, Sybille'.Following 'A Favourite of the Gods', this novel shifts the emphasis to the daughter, Flavia; situated in the atmosphere of 'political barbarism' (blurb) in the 1930s, her heroine - full of idealism - aspires to a place at Oxford and a writing career, but reality falls short of her high expectations.
