First published in 1978, The Victims of Love was the last in a
quartet of novels by Colin Spencer concerning the Simpson family
and their charged relationships across the generations. Now we are
in the 1960s, as Sundy Simpson attempts a reclusive existence as a
single mother and Matthew struggles with the aftermath of a
superficially civilised divorce and the continued rage of passion
within. In a new preface Colin Spencer recalls how he drew
inspiration from his own life and the lives of others, intending
'to be as honest to my experience as I can be, to be ruthless in my
vision of others as I have been to myself'. 'Affecting, hilarious,
and grave . . . [the Generation Quartet] is a tapestry of
unforgettable characters in all their seaminess and sadness, their
idealism and desires. It is a delight to meet them again.' Sir Huw
