Publisher's Synopsis
A brilliantly comic, dark and dyspeptic novel about an obsessive love gone sour. Jealousy and revenge, passion and dread intertwine in one man's soul as he's trapped in the awful claustrophobia of a three-day coach journey across Europe with a group of people he loathes - and the woman who broke his heart. Written with extraordinary stylistic and emotional intensity and an hilarious sense of the absurd, this story of inescapably enchanted disenchantment is Tim Parks' finest novel to date.
