'The characters are quite extraordinarily living...A most original
and grimly farcical situation' - Dorothy L. SayersRobert Arthur
Kewdingham is an eccentric failure of a man. In middle age he
retreats into a private world, hunting for Roman artefacts and
devoting himself to bizarre mystical beliefs. Robert's wife,
Bertha, feels that there are few things more dreadful than a
husband who will persist in making a fool of himself in public.
Their marriage consists of horrible quarrels, futile arguments,
incessant bickering. Scarcely any friends will visit the
Kewdinghams in their peaceful hometown Shufflecester. Everything is
wrong - and with the entrance of John Harrigall, a bohemian
bachelor from London who catches Bertha's eye, they take a turn for
the worse. Soon deep passions and resentments shatter the calm
facade of the Kewdinghams' lives. This richly characterised and
elegantly written crime novel from 1933 is a true forgotten
classic.
