The first book in the acclaimed Squire Quartet. Thomas C. Squire,
popular presenter of television documentaries, one time secret
agent, a hedonist whose worldly success and self-confidence
overshadow the lives of his family and friends, faces a mid-life
crisis which undermines the stability of his ancient house. This
brilliant and sometimes violent novel moves from England to Sicily,
Singapore and Jugoslavia. Brian says: 'A complex and argumentative
drama built about the axes of Thomas Squire's attendance at an
imaginary contemporary ARTS symposium in Sicily, his extramarital
and marital relationships, and his past as a secret agent in
Jugoslavia, a land caught between East and West. Includes several
humorous portraits of national types.' First published in 1980 and
unavailable for some time.
